Our policy is to allow the AP unless it is causing interference with our
wireless. Most home wireless plays nicely if you have them set the
channel to auto. Our wireless - Ruckus - shifts the frequencies, radio
strength and antenna patterns to alleviate much of any potential
interference. The Ruckus we use has 16 antennas and uses dynamic
beam-forming which definitely helps compared to the Cisco we used to have.

I know there have been multiple discussions regarding how schools deal with
rogue APs connected to the campus network. However we have run into a
different situation and I was wondering how other campuses are dealing with
this. We have students who are purchasing their own internet service to their
room through the local cable company, then installing their own AP on this
network. While this does not carry the normal concerns associated with rogue
APs there is the concern about the wireless interference created. I am curious
to know what policies/procedures others have used to deal with this situation.
