Bruce, our previous install was 10 years old and signal was not reaching
most places, so it would be hard to compare the two.

Jason, we have been considering the same approach. How did the number of
previously installed hallway APs compare to the number of installed bedroom APs.
Thanks

We made the move from hallways to bedroom as well with the 702W's that Cisco
came out with. Being able to use the existing cable drop in bedrooms saved a
lot of money and installation time. With the 702W having the wired ports still
gives the students that option as well. We did leave a few 3702i's in the
hallway just for Clean air. So far signal has not been an issue at all and
students seem happy!!

One gotcha in hall designs is what your walls are made out of. Simple sheetrock
fine. Concrete blocks not as fine. Lathe and plaster with metal mesh, Faraday
cage. We have a music department with some sort of sound deading material that
completely kills RF.

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.
