We started providing a PSK connection for residents for their IoT devices and 
faculty in buildings close enough are starting to use it to get around using 
the more secure network.  I feel a big mess coming.

Thanks,

I struggled with a group that continued to purchase chrome cast and apple TV's. 
 They would request these devices be placed on a network with no authentication 
mechanism.  We provide Eduroam and WPA2-Enterprise as authentication solutions. 
 To push this group into an authenticated solution I did some digging around I 
found a method by which you could attach an Eduroam cert to an Apple TV but it 
required downloading and installing a development package from apple.  The 
other option was an Ethernet adapter for their Chrome Cast fleet.  But it 
raised the overall price of the device by $25 a piece.  The cheap price of the 
Chrome Cast devices is what is keeping them from exploring a more secure 
connection method.  Which leaves my group managing a hidden unencrypted SSID.

We really like AirServer here. It's cheap, and it supports AirPlay, Miracast 
(Windows), and Chromecast (ChromeOS/Android) in one package. It's gotten a lot 
better over the years at the video hand-off/YouTube issues, though I do still 
see some occasional sync issues between the audio portion of video content and 
recommend if showing a video is the main thing you want to do, just use the PC 
in the room.

The real downside to AirServer is the you need hardware to run it on. If you 
have a computer already in the room, you're done, and the cost per room is only 
about $10. If you don't already have hardware, you need a computer to pair with 
it. They sell a tiny pre-built unit for $400. The system requirement are very 
small, so you could build one yourself for the $200 price point if you're 
willing to shop around. There's also an XBox One version, which does meet your 
price point if you're willing to go that route.

And, of course, with *all* AirPlay/Chromecast solutions you need to consider 
the network discovery questions. But that shouldn't be news to anyone here.

Hi Joseph,

We had developed the Mirror App at Penn State that worked with AppleTVs, 
however, over the last two years we switched exclusively to Mersive Solstice. 
The $1K price per box was worth it to us for the development time put in to 
keeping their solution working on all clients. We wire them into ethernet and 
disable the wireless adapters. This allows us to use our own 802.1x wireless 
ssid and connect to them over our enterprise network.

There were other solutions.. AirTame doesn’t do iOS mirroring yet, etc .. 
Mersive is the most complete.

Most Apple TVs purchased in the last few years can use bluetooth for discovery 
instead of the network, but failing that Airtame is a decent option.

Does anyone have success with a device that is $200 or less that works with 
Apple devices to share video and works with an enterprise wifi network 
(802.1x/PEAP)?

Thanks,
