Though slightly off topic, I gotta chime in. I wish all major vendors offered
an in-wall wireless AP

Dorms are a bear to implement wireless, especially legacy buildings. We
have had wireless APs in dorms for 6 years and have made several

I pretty much second Rick’s comments. We also don’t have wireless-only dorms
yet, but the next one will have much less wire than our existing ones.
One AP per suite is what we’ve done, but you have to also consider non-RF
placement

All of the issues listed here are great examples of the complex nature of
designing an 802.11 environment with such stringent requirements.
With only 3 channels, even if you plan very carefully and precisely control
the output power of your APs, you're going

Interesting discussion ongoing...
I work to remain agnostic in regards to WLAN vendors, but I
do consider Meru a leader in developing/enabling 802.11
I would be interested as well. We have the access points and will
probably install them over the winter break.

We have wireless-only dorms. We have more complaints from
those areas than we do from our new student apartments,
which are a mix of wire and wireless. There are issues.
First, you need greater density

Have you got a rule of thumb for the number of students per G access point
in a college dorm?

Nice synopsis, Phil.
I would add that the issue about bandwidth overlap in densly
populated areas can be partially mitigated by making sure you
select a vendor that has the ability to automatically
decrease power to reduce overlap

I believe that http://www.extricom.com/ does almost the same thing that
Meru does. Has anyone compared/contrasted the two?
