If you find that someone is abusing the service put the MAC address in the WAP and block it. (We have done that to a few laptops over the years.)

    I haven't changed anything specifically in my AUP, but I probably
    should, this was kind of the trial run to see if people used it
    and how it worked.  I only really have students on and they have
    all signed an AUP.  I don't have a user authentication trail, but
    I have their MAC address in the wireless and can see them move
    around from AP to AP.  The filter records everything so I have a
    trail that way too and the filter is really locked down.  I had to
    open it a little because yahoo was fully blocked.  They can't do
    anything that I would block on the regular side, so webmail,
    myspace and facebook are blocked.  They can search and look up
    general stuff.  I have DHCP so I can see the name of the device so
    in our school I could look through Skyward and have staff pick out
    the student who had the device.  If I found something funny I can
    block the MAC right on the wireless and then they are done.  I
    have not heard complaints about I can't get to this site.  I think
    most students think that they are being sneeky because they are on
    the wireless.  They aren't suppose to have the devices out during
the school day so there isn't much traffic. I have had our wireless up for 2 years and had students ask when
    is it going to get opened up and I always told them I wasn't until
    I could control it.  What I want to do is connect everything via
    LDAP, but Ruckus hasn't pushed out the eDir LDAP part.  So if I
    switch to Windows I can have direct user authentication and would
    bring students in under that, but still keep them tunneled to the
    outside world.  With staff I create a user on the wireless and it
    manages the user by installing a program on the device to set
everything up from what SSID it uses to the group they are in. The stuff I am more worried about is the MI-Fi's that is see come
    up on the wireless system and other things like that can allow
    others to access.  Even our iMacs can turn into a hot spot so I am
    happy with the guest part.

    Dan, that is awesome and exactly what I am planning to do over the
    next couple weeks, but did you add any verbage to your AUP to
    address it. Also, how do you handle abuse without an associated

        under the schools agreement of the aup. I have to give rights
        to the tunnel to hit our webserver. With my filter, cynphonix,
        then it is set to even stricter settings then student
        filtering, but they can still do what they want for the basic
        stuff. I also put the filter on a time limit so the guest only
        works from 7:45 - 4:00 during the weekday. I also put a
        bandwidth limit that allows only a trickle up and down. The
        majority of people use it for their iPods. Some students bring
        in a laptop. It works really well.

                At some point we need to understand and realize that
                we are not in a
                corporation but we are a public service institution
                paid for by public
                money. With the proliferation of wireless devices -
                and wait until
                Christmas this year when almost EVERYONE will have
                either a smartphone
                or some kind of wireless Internet device - the public
                will expect to
                have access when they attend school events. We can't
                just hid behind
                our conservative, staff-only, policies. We need to
                adjust with the
                times and give the public what is expected. Even USAC
                realizes this now
                with their new rule changes which allow public access
                to school networks
                paid for by E-Rate funds. (Be sure you understand
                those rules before
                giving public access to E-Rate funded Internet. At
                this time we don't
                use E-Rate to pay for our Internet so we are not
                governed by those rules
                even though our public access does fall under the new
                rules' scope.)
