We allow them to plug into our wired network. (All the games have a wired option). We allow them to use wired routers if they want. We hold them accountable for anything that is plugged in behind it's IP. We haven't gotten any complaints about this approach that I am aware of. A more challenging issue is that of wireless printers. We tell them to plug into a USB, but this can be inconvenient. Would love to find a good way to deal with them.

We are getting more and more requests to connect gaming consoles on our wi-fi network. Gaming consoles don't currently support wpa/wpa2-enterprise (they all do support psk), and I have not had any luck finding a wireless gaming adapter that does either. I guess another ssid with pre-share key/ mac-address registration would be an option for now. Could I get some input from the group on how you guys are doing it? And if with mac-address registration, how is the process accomplished? Are students satisfied with the process? Thanks!
