At Syracuse, we had a stringent no rogues policy since early on, endorsed by our CIO and enforced as we see 'em. The interference issue is one concern, but security is another as our NAC and hostreg systems are bypassed when the rogues come to town. Many students don't know about the don't

Hi Marcus, hmmm , you have a good point. However, we have tried to isolate the server connection (Moodle server) using wired connections at the same moment. Our conclusion is that the access points can't manage so many connections at the same time. Thanks! Luis Fernando

You're lucky. Our students would complain to their parents and/or the administration and we would have to provide wireless for them. Our current 802.1X wireless plans for our residences have a WPA2-Enterprise SSID and an open SSID to allow individual mac address registered devices and to allow

I agree. Also, upgrade to 802.11 a/b/g/n APs, preferably with gigabit uplinks. The 1240 AG are a/b/g with a single 100 meg uplink. Several years ago, we moved from fat AP 1240G ( 802.11b.g only) APs to an Aruba 802.11 a/b/g/n AP system. The users immediately noticed improvement with more

If we could provide great / sufficient / pervasive non-wired coverage using $40 AP instead of $400 Cisco AP, resident might not want to bring in their own $40 AP. I didn't use word, wireless, but non-wired instead. Will carrier be not interested to penetrate such market? On Fri, 2011-11-11 at

Not sure where you draw the line for consumer, but I think some of the stuff from CyberGuys are POE. I know home/dorm users that purchase from them. http://www.cyberguys.com/product-listings/?categoryid=298 And more specifically: http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=55359

It is close to the entry-level by Cisco. WAP4410N is an AP that is POE without being a router. Price is around $150.00 I believe. We used them when initially expanding our wireless from Extreme 300 APs. We still have some in smaller areas as we fully transition from Cisco to Ruckus. Harry
