I have had some issues with students tampering with APs, mostly just
unplugging them but one was destroyed. The unplugging is annoying though.
I just sacrifice one of the room ports. So far nobody has complained.

Tristan,
I assume your dorms are a central hallway with rooms on either side. We
initially deployed our Aruba APs in the hallways and had similar issues with
Aruba's ARM dropping radio power. We have relocated the APs within the rooms in
a zigzag pattern. That resolved the radio power issue
We've had this issue and are looking at the feasibility and cost of
moving the AP's into the rooms. We initially started with a coverage
model and not a AP per Student model. Now we're moving more to the per
student model, but haven't determined what the numbers are going to look
like.
As
We have the typical corridor deployment and also experienced low power levels
due to default RRM/TPC thresholds. We didn't like the idea of micromanaging
power levels or the huge cost increase and security concerns of placing WAPs in
the rooms. In Cisco land, a workaround for now, was
Mike,
With the WiSM2 on 7.2 you can use RF Profiles to manage your thresholds.
The option is under Wireless-RF Profiles and then you can assign it to APs
under the AP Groups (WLANs-Advanced-AP Groups). This way you can tweak the
settings at whatever scale you want.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Josh!

Tom,

Hello Group,
We have traditionally designed to have AP's in common area(s) and hallways for
serviceability. We too have encountered Cisco RRM reducing radio TX power to
minimize interference.
The current model moving forward will be to design for 5GHz with AP's located
inside the rooms.
