Matthew, My guess is you already have an infrastructure in place, but Ruckus does a self activation portal which creates a dynamic PSK for each device.

Our wishlist would be a randomized PSK for each user, sort of like an authenticated guest network. We haven’t seen anything that can pull that off though.

In terms of geography, we have 21 ResHalls that are in the perimeter of our campus. Some of these buildings are next to academic or administrative buildings. Eduroam is our main SSID. So, for the longest time it has only made sense to broadcast eduroam everywhere. Now, on the wired side of the house, our ResHalls have a dedicated connection that gives them direct, non-firewall access to the internet (for access to campus resources, a student must VPN). This came about as a request from the students to have more freedom in their residence. Makes sense. But wireless is different as it goes through our campus core, traverses our perimeter firewall, and goes out our main internet connection. I’ve struggled to find an alternative solution to this. We recognize that students in ResHalls are different in the sense that they pay for a place to live and should get an internet service that is similar to their home service. However, any alternatives that we have considered (separate SSID, dynamic VLAN assignment, user groups) just seem to complicate the setup. Any good ideas out there or creative ways in which you have tackled this challenge?
