At UCSD, we have a customer who recently asked about a Barco Clickshare set up. The default mode is that it does act as an AP but there is an advanced set up configuration that allows the AP function to be disabled when the base unit has a wired connection and the remote buttons can attach to a WPA2-E network.
Section 4.12 http://www.barco.com/tde/%282331390682231610%29/R5900004/08/Barco_InstallationManual_R5900004_08__ClickShare-CSC-1-Installation-Guide.pdf No actual experience with the product but it sounds promising.

It basically is an AP (luckily it can do 5GHz so interference wasn’t a problem) that talks to the dongles. The benefit is the simplicity for Windows and Mac users; we get no support calls on it. The down side is the cost (4 digits for the device and USB dongles).

I know it's been discussed here in the past a couple of times, but any idea how it compares with some of the other solutions mentioned here already? Just at a first glance I'm not too wild about it since it basically looks like an AP that gets connected to a projector or display. -- Julian Y.
