I don't know, Bruce. The government has been very aggressive shutting down every place in the US that sells proper jamming equipment. Even shutting down individual craigslist retailers. What is easier for them to do? Tell Cisco and Aruba and the other wireless players to disable and stop

You missed a part on the second page of the FCC link. In addition, we reiterate that Federal law prohibits the operation, marketing, or sale of any type of jamming equipment, including devices that interfere with Wi-Fi, cellular, or public safety communications. Detailed information about the

The FCC specifically exempted university dormitories from the OTARD rules. I believe we can prohibit the installation of antennas in dorm rooms, but not family housing apartments. https://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-reception-devices-rule

Here's something I wonder about. In some cases (T-Mobile for instance) the WiFi network can be used as a substitute for the cellular network in order to make calls. If I am preventing you from connecting to my WiFi network via a password, am I 'jamming'? I think, according to this definition I

Hi Bob- It's an incredible event for people who do wireless. No sales, no vending, no fluff. All how-to and real-world case studies from many of the absolute best in the WLAN industry. For those of us in the business of WLAN, it's really one of the best I've been to as far as take-away value.

I see it another way - if the on-boarding to guest network is more involved then what they have to do with the mi-fi, why bother? If the guest network comes with an appropriate use agreement such as in a captive portal, again, some may be put off by that. Last but not least, if the guest network

Here is the story I know. The AP's you listed including the 1140's were to be dropped in 8.0 code. The original 8.0 actually released as 7.6, and Cisco agreed to support those AP's up to and including the new 8.0, but with no new features, bug fixes, etc. Essentially, the 1252 radio code is the
