The Cisco 1230G AP's supports tweaking the OFDM Transmitter Power from 1mW to 100mW. Perhaps other AP's support power tuning as well. Selecting a channel that is not actually in that classroom and turning down the AP power might enable instructional (developmental) b/g channels to be used in a

We have worked with the professors on reducing the transmitting power of their AP's that are being used in the teaching environment, that way the signal strength doesn't reach very far past the classroom walls, and causes minimal impact on our production network. Cully Bennefield Communication
