We installed some of these back in December. Here are a few of the issues we
had.
1. Power requirements are too high because of the POE port LAN4. There is no
way to configure the POE off if you are on 7.6.x.x. Found that if you limit the
uplink port to 15.4 watts, the AP will be fully functional, but the POE in LAN4
will be turned off. We can get a lot more APs per POE switch.
2. The ethernet ports are default off. cli method of enabling them is time
consuming because you can only do one port at a time. Found that in PI 2.2
(using classic theme) you can configure a Lightweight AP Configuration Template
to enable them in mass.
3. The ethernet ports are in the same vlan as the AP. This should be resolved
in some 8.x release (we're still on 7.6).
We've found that one AP covers two dorm rooms very well (fire rated
sheetrock).
We haven't had any damage with them mounted low, however in new buildings they
will be mounted higher.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 702W APs
We are about to embark on covering a Res Hall with 99% 702W APs. Are there any
lessons learned from others out there? If our pilot works well we intend on
this being the cookie cutter as we move forward.
