Yes, these types of devices tend to be more sensitive to any networks that aren't your standard out of the box, home router config.

Note: Aruba's residence hall VRD also recommends using an AP with integrated four-port, managed Ethernet switch to connect wired devices, such as an Ethernet-enabled HDTV, gaming device, VoIP phone, or any wired device. I do believe most enterprise WLAN vendors will agree on this. But to answer your question, we have many happy Ruckus customers using ceiling or wall mounted APs, rather than wall-plate AP in the residence halls, too. I guess in my view, it's an option which some use and others choose not to use based on their particular design preference or the specific set of needs. Hopefully having another tool in the tool belt is a good thing :) Best, Rich ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
