Sorry, forgot to mention the issue about the NAC vendor needing to support changing VLANs on the AP. We have been told this will be coming out later this year. Our deployment plan was based on the dorm’s construction. Where possible we did one in every other room, but we had 4 dorms where we put one in every room. We have not lost any so far to being damaged, but we still have students plugging in wireless routers for devices that cannot authenticate into our primary SSID. In those instances we have seen an AP go down and when we check it there is a router plugged in. We detach the router, power cycle the AP, and it comes back up. We have not done a detailed investigation on that particular issue to see what may be causing that. Just have not had time.

We have two main issues that need to be worked out before moving forward - 1) NAC vendor needs to support changing VLANs on the AP, and 2) how do we deploy them so they don't get smashed by furniture/students? What is your deployment plan? 1 AP per room or something else?
