+1 for the hospitality APs. That’s what we use in all of our new dorm installs. 95% of our dorm access is on our wireless network with a few gaming systems using the wired ports on the APs.

Last year we converted our first residence hall to wireless only and there were minimal challenges. You could consider installing the small hospitality APs in the rooms and then there would be wired ports available if necessary.

Hi All, We are looking into building a new student housing building and are considering going Wifi only for network connectivity. We were wondering if anyone else has gone the route of only allowing network connectivity via wireless. If so, can you share your experience, lessons learned, and advice.
