Now this is brilliant.  The only problem is, when people see those, I may have 
to do it to every one across the institution!

We ran into the same issue when our new law school building was built.  They 
paid a lot of money for ornate ceilings in the moot courtrooms and thought the 
exposed access points were an eye sore.  Aruba sells covers for the AP200 
series that are designed to be painted (obviously you should avoid lead based 
or metallic based paints).  We only had to use them in a few areas but it made 
the customer happy.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Camouflaging AP's


Aside from enclosures, how are people hiding their AP's in areas where 
aesthetics are very important?   As we bring up new buildings or renovate old 
ones, the typical response from architects to hanging an AP in plain sight is 
.. you want hang that where!?



My current situation is a renovated theatre.  The ceilings will be greyed out, 
so placing a glossy white Aruba AP on there could be an issue.  The ceiling is 
high (accessible via catwalk), so I'm not ruling out something as low-rent as 
black gaffer's tape, or possibly grey contact paper, but I thought I'd throw 
the question out to the group as I may have units on side-walls that I'll need 
to somehow mask.



BTW, loving the tongue-and-cheek answers to recent posts.  It would appear we 
are all a bit punchy at the start of the new academic year!
