We have 12 controllers with up to 100 thin access points per controller. All the APs in the same buildings have been put on the same controller in case of roaming problems.

Hi Destinova. The English school have Cisco 1242 AP's, We have Cisco 1142's. The 1242's don't have wireless-n but they do have the ability to turn on 802.11a at 5GHz. I have put some antennas on and enabled it. The Chromebook I was using then connected to it straight away, but within a minute or so switched to a 1142 on the n radio interface. I thought it might be something on the Chromebook but I have had a look at various forums and can't find an answer.

We have a strange problem where some Chromebooks the English department bought would not work over wireless. We tried them in our building and they worked fine. English kept reporting constant disconnections (which I did witness in their office, but only on the Chromebooks, my netbook and phone had no problems). Looking into it further they have 2.4 GHz b/g interfaces on the access points in their building and we have 2.4 GHz b/g and 5GHz a/n. I tried one of their access points in our building and, despite being right next to the AP, the Chromebook always connected over n to one of the others. I started shutting the other AP's down to try and force it to connect to the b/g interface and it 'preferred' to connect to one on the other side of the building (despite having a signal strength of -79dbm) to the b/g AP in the same room. b/g does work on the Chromebook as it connects when there are no other AP's within range, but I am wondering if the problem is they are trying to connect to n in neighbouring buildings and on other SSID's? I am wondering if this could cause the disconnections? Does anyone else have any problems using Samsung 550C Chromebooks on b/g? Does anyone know if Chromebooks prefer wireless n no matter what signal strength is on other interfaces? I want to try changing the SSID on the English AP (to force a connection to it and then see how stable it is) but this is managed centrally by the NM (not here right now) on WCS. Thanks for any feedback.

This is how we did it to. FSRM is also good for setting up alerts when students try to save things they perhaps shouldn't (batch files, mp3's, torrents, etc) or for blocking types of files. Unfortunately it can't stop the clever/annoying ones renaming a file as .doc for example then saving it

It worked for me. I thought it was a trick so I watched it with the dot off the top of the screen and it is definitely black and white: http://i.imgur.com/QV5xw.gif

I have had a G1 and a HTC Desire. My other half has an Xperia. I can confirm that apps are hidden in the market depending on the specs of the phone as I have had this question myself. It is not just android version but also screen size, country and mobile carrier, Presence of a SIM, and some others. Market Filters | Android Developers
