Wow I go away for a few days and the thread blows up! Thanks for all the responses so far, all this feedback is very useful and greatly appreciated.
Great document from Walter Reynolds – this is the kind of thing we would put near elevators and in laundry rooms in student Residences, online in our support pages and maybe even just something similar to 2nd page as a screen saver on our library PCs.

One of our problems is that there are multiple groups on campus trying to compete for the attention of the students. You can have the most beautifully crafted media, but often it doesn’t appear to get consumed.

Nicely formatted, great graphics, clearly written. Just wondering how this would/could be used. Having a hard time imagining most or any users having enough interest to read the second line of this, never mind the second page, given everything else they are barraged with these days.

IMHO, your best bet is to work toward abandoning 2.4. In the early days, we did try outreach and education, but there are just too many devices today that use 2.4, and in many cases, users don’t even know it e.g. Apple’s Airdrop. You can minimize some of this by solving the reasons behind some of the interference sources i.e. install more WAPs to improve the service, reducing the rogue problem. Install residential printers to mitigate the need for student printers. Most of our residential is now designed around dense 5 GHz, and while 2.4 is available, it’s mostly ignored.

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.
