Our last two dorms we placed an AP in every third room staggered above and below so no client should be no more than one wall away. We were fortunate enough to get Ethernet drops for APs to every room just in case. I say fortunate but we really pushed it as insurance for the future. Coverage is great..... but now we have to get better at dealing with high density. The APs were mounted above the door to reduce the chance of damage. If anyone has APs on the outer wall, we would certainly be interested in your experience. Otherwise it will likely be a test over the summer when students and their belonging are not present to give us an accurate picture.
