That would work if the student plugs into one of the LAN switch ports on the wireless router (when they do a lot of times that causes problems with rogue DHCP servers), but we more often see them plugging it into the internet port so we only see 1 MAC/IP address. This also wouldn’t solve the

I’d install it, you can always disable SSIDs in those areas to prevent people from using it, but I’d bet there will be something that will require it sooner rather than later. Thanks, Jason R. Benedick IT Generalist Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology Office: (717) 391-6957 Cell: (717)
