Thanks for the heads up about the classic template. Converged templates are harder to hunt down for me at this time. We have been able to get the AP ports into different vlans via Prime. We had to turn off the "switchport voice vlan" line on the switch config in order to get the voice vlan to work on the AP. This building is all concrete block so we went with one per room. As we do others that aren't block we will look at spreading them out some.
Thanks to all for the feedback in general. It has been helpful. Kenneth V.

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.
