TP-Link N150 Wireless Travel Router is still the best bang for your buck at
only $20.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Res hall wireless printing..

[Mark Usher]

Brian -

We just implemented Aruba Clearpass with Airgroups and are allowing
students to self white-list their misc devices including printers, on our
less secure (open...) SSID. With Aruba/Clearpass/Airgroups/PEF, you
basically just squash all of the broadcast and Airgroups/Clearpass forwards
the broadcast requests (unicast) the the student's shared devices so only
she/he 'sees' their devices. There's no security here, but kind of nice. So
far it's made our life much easier.

The biggest problem with these devices in my book is all of the extra RF
interference out in the dorms.
