Hi,
If replacing old equipment or on new installations we install 50% less swit=
ches. Students can request a wired port if they want but around 80 to 90% =
never request one.
#1 Yes, wireless has many more possible issues than wired for reasons other=
s have already stated.
#2 N/A
#3 For almost all students using wired is a last resort. If the wireless d=
evice does not meet our WPA2 standard or has other technical issues we cann=
ot help them with they will use wired.
Best way to sum how students feel about wired is this quote from a student=
recently. " I hate that stupid little blue wire I have to plug in, it's su=
ch a pain". The data jack was around 6ft from where she uses her laptop.

Subject: issues in wireless Only rooms
Hi,
Since wireless is the hot topic of the week...
We still have many buildings have wired connection only. But from this com=
ing August, we will provide wireless connection only in student rooms due =
to the aging switches and the replacement cost will be too high on top of =
the wireless installation. We plan to install only a handful of switches,=
so users will have to request it and let us know why they need a wired con=
nection.
To prepare ahead, I would like to know:
1. Do you have more wireless support issues than wired issues at the begin=
ning of the semester?
2. If you only provide wireless, what kind of common issues do you encou=
nter? Do users complain about no ethernet ports?
2. If you still have both wired and wireless in rooms, please let me know =
why users won't use wireless and the percentage of devices on wired ports. =
Are they connected to ethernet only because their desktop or consoles don'=
t have the wireless built-in or because of other reasons such as speed and =
reliability?
Thank you all in advance.
Wendy
