We also design the same for the dorms (hallways) and for the same reasons. However, it has been a problem on some of the newer dorms where the bed rooms are located on the outer walls while all the kitchen/baths sit between the user and ap. My question is has anyone been putting in the Aruba AP225s in the dorms? They seem to be a lot loader than previous aps, to where we have entire building turned as low as possible and every other room 2.4 has to be turned off. Mark G.

We installed in the hallways due to cost, access for maintenance, and concern of vandalism in room. Coverage from hallway using our design was excellent. We designed the layout in Cisco Prime. Testing after install showed the wireless working very well in the rooms, even on 5 Ghz. Wireless just needs planning and design considerations for the location and environment. -- Kevin McCormick uTech Network Services Western Illinois University On 10/21/2014 12:47 PM, Williams, Matthew wrote: > I've just started here at Kent State and I'm facing an uphill battle > regarding updating our WLAN design.
