We understand that but when you do not have a choice, you have to work
with what you have. We are not too concerned with triangulation either.

Also if you put your APs in a line down a hallway you lose the ability
to triangulate to do location tracking. Never a good idea to put APs in
a line.

We always have access issues in the student rooms so we had to
install the 1142s in the hallways. We placed them about 75' apart from
each other inside of Wiremold enclosures. We were challenged with the
RRM because of the in-line placement of the APs and the system was
setting the radios too low and we were having coverage holes in the
rooms. We had to manually increase the radio to achieve the desired
coverage. The overall coverage and connectivity is good.=20

Subject: Wireless in the Dorms

We are adding wireless to our dorm space and I would like to
know how other schools are running their wireless infrastructure in the
dorms. Our dorms are the typical cinder block rooms stacked ontop of
each other. We are a cisco shop and will be using the WISM and
lightweight aps.
Are you running your system manually or is the controller doing
a good job?
How dense is your ap deployment and what is the location of the
ap (in the rooms or in the hallways)?
What feedback do you get from the users (good or bad)?

Thanks.
