We installed in the hallways due to cost, access for maintenance, and
concern of vandalism in room. Coverage from hallway using our design was
excellent. We designed the layout in Cisco Prime. Testing after install
showed the wireless working very well in the rooms, even on 5 Ghz.
Wireless just needs planning and design considerations for the location
and environment.

I've just started here at Kent State and I'm facing an uphill battle regarding
updating our WLAN design. All APs are deployed in the hallways and we're
rolling out 802.11ac. We'd like to move the APs into the rooms, but the mere
suggestion has been met with resistance. I was just wondering if any of you
had any tips or suggestions for trying presenting the new model to upper
management. Thanks for any suggestions that you might share!
