Security should always be your first priority when it comes to your wireless network design. Since rogue access point detection is an important component in securing your wireless network, its vital that it be included from day one. Rogue access point detection does two things, detection and mitigation. Whatever you decide to install on your network, it has to have the ability from the beginning of your RF design to be able to detect and mitigate rogue access points.
