The way we approach rogues is like this. Every week we look at the top rogues based on strongest RSSI (we use PRIME) and generate one or two tickets so our NOC can go and hunt them down. For the most part, these rogues are printers that users don't even know are acting as rogues. When the rogue is located, we work with the users to either disable the interfering functionality, or remove it (if it is a WAP). It also provides an opportunity to educate the user(s) about the effects of interference AND our policies.

This is my first post to the group, so please be gentle. Here at the University of Lethbridge we are about to embark on a bit of an education drive for all of our wireless users with regards to the 2.4GHz spectrum and their impact on it. Does anybody have good examples of notices, posters etc. that they would be willing to share, that reference the evils of rogues and other interference sources citing the negative impact they have on the wireless network. Like everyone else on this list we are seeing huge influxes of our friends the wireless printer, Bluetooth devices and the like... if only we could just turn 2.4GHz off.
