RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Only in Student Housing?
Dear Daniel We have done this to most of our residence buildings for more than three years. Before, we gave them wired connection and IP phones. We found that many jacks in the rooms were broken, and we spent a lot to do the maintenance on the jacks and phones. Three years ago, we concluded that almost every student in the residence has a cell phone, and they do not need the wired connection anymore because they are using laptops and mobile devices. So we disabled all of the wireless connection, and only enable the jacks if they have special request. This also help us to reduce the number of switches in the residence. You’d better make a good pre-site survey for the wireless coverage in your new building ( I spent almost two weeks to do the site survey in the construction stage of our new residence), and leave some buffer because after students moving in, the furniture and human body can block or absorb some signal. And it will not be easy to add more Aps later. In the past three years, we do not have any major problem for the network connection in the residence except the interference from personal rogue routers and wireless printers. Hope it can help for your decision. Have a good weekend.

RE: Cisco WLC5508

The cisco engineer told us that the controller hit a bug CSCuw52341 (WLC crash with RRM task RRM-CLNT-5_0 is due to a bug CSCuw52341), and suggested us to upgrade to an engineer code (version 8.1.131.13) to fix this bug.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless in Residence Halls
Dear David We installed Aps in the corridor of the residence halls, and they can cover the rooms on both sides. Two years ago, we found that some Aps were disconnected every 2 or 3 days without any reason. Then we discovered that some students unplugged the cables and they wanted to reboot the Aps to get better connection :( In the last wireless upgrade, we put all Aps (with internal antennas) in the AP enclosures, and hide the jacks inside. We also installed many Aps in the study rooms and lounges. After that, no one complaint and no unreasonable disconnection anymore. Hope this could help your decision. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to Everyone!
