Same exact scenario for us. We were able to disable the single LED that's on our Cisco APs.

In a couple buildings we had to put them in the hallways due to construction but the rest are in student rooms. In the hallways buildings, we definitely have our most busy air.

We put AP's in rooms and they become just like any other University owned property, the resident is responsible for any damage to the AP. That said we have had them in rooms for 3 years and have never had a problem with damage. The only issue we had was the status lights, students said the blinking was keeping them awake but that they could live with the blue or green steady on power light so we turned off the blinking lights and left the warm glow of the power light on.

Andy,

At UT Knoxville, we went from AP’s in hallways to AP’s in some dorm rooms, taking one of the room’s wired ports in the process. We’ve not had very many problems with the AP’s other than when the students move into their rooms. Even then, it wasn’t too bad.

I'm curious to hear how folks are handling APs in their dorms including with outside contractors like Apogee? Are you able to put APs in the dorm room themselves or are you restricted to the hallways? How do you protect the APs from normal student wear and tear?

    Hi Andy,

    Apogee provides all the WiFi infrastructure for our Res Halls here
    at Tarleton State University.  We are very happy with the service
    and the support they provide.  Internally, we are a Cisco shop but
     Apogee is using an Aruba solution.  We were impressed with both
    the speed and ease of the installation.

    Has anyone had experience with outsourcing their WiFi
    infrastructure to Apogee, or perhaps explored this option?
    Interested in any information you may have.
