David,
Two summers ago we installed about 500 Access Points in our Residence
Halls. About 90% of them were installed directly in student rooms. The
remaining 10% went above ceiling tiles in the hallway. We did this
primarily b/c our Res Life staff was concerned about damage to the APs
and
We did this summer. We contracted out to a company to improve the wireless in
our Res Halls, and the solution they came up with was to install them in the
rooms. We have about 2000 students living on campus and 800 access points,
mostly in bedrooms, for those 2000 students.
Of those, we have
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

We installed our APs in the hallways, and found that the APs were seeing such a
strong signal from each other that the Cisco controller would power down the
signal strength for the APs. This was causing a impact on coverage in the
rooms along the hallway.

We had the APs for our highrise dorms located in the hallways which was
convenient for installation and maintenance, but it made for a poor RF
design. Lots of co-channel interference and dynamic power management
problems. Moving them into student rooms solved this, although
coordinating the
Our experience matches that of a lot of other schools. Initially, for budget
reasons, a few buildings got APs in the hallways, but that's a suboptimal RF
design and will not work properly, and we quickly moved away from that and
instead tackled the hassles of trying to get APs into rooms and

During the spring and summer of 2012, the University of Tennessee Knoxville
campus upgraded wireless in the dorms. We had b/g AP's in the dorm hallways
and the wireless complaints were a constant reminder that we had to do
something. We removed the AP's from the hallways and placed

Let me add that we cover between 5 to 6 students per AP (we stagger APs between
floors), and when an AP goes down,
we rarely receive a complaint since there is enough overlap between APs. So we
can take some time to fix the problem (referring to the room access issue).
