Is there some particular issue you have with devices like the Airport?  Given 
it's 802.11 based and doesn't need to run in AP mode when used to stream audio, 
is there some other problem you're seeing?

Thanks Mike. We have SafeConnect. The difference is we allow wired routers to 
make games, Tivo's, Clingboxes easier. I know SafeConnect does a pretty good 
job ID'ng a lot of the games, but how do you deal with Tivo's, Slingboxes, IP 
Phones etc?

The other challenge we're having is that we are seeing wireless devices that 
don't use the wired Ethernet. Today we had someone with an AirPort using them 
strictly for their wireless speakers.

Our NAC system, Impulse SafeConnect, detects rogue AP's by using what they call 
"NAT Detection". If the gateway of the students computer does not match the 
gateway of the network, their IP (external one of the rogue router/AP) gets 
blocked with a message stating the following:
=================
You are connected to the network through an unapproved device

To connect to the Gordon college network, you must plug directly into the 
network through the port in your room, or be connected to the official campus 
wireless network.
The official Gordon wireless networks include:
....
=================
The students see this message, and learn that the devices are not allowed (and 
don't work), they then unplug them, getting rid of the rogue wireless signal.

This has eliminated not only wireless rogues, but wired routers (which we also 
prohibit).

Has anyone had any success dealing with Rogue AP's?
Is anyone else seeing a lot of them this year?
We have 100% coverage in the dorms, and advertise this. We also constantly tell 
people not to put up rogues, but it is very challenging to control the rogues 
in our dorms.
