We can quarantine hosts on any of our wireless networks: secured, guest, or eduroam.  When a faculty/staff/student 
connects to eduroam, they get the same experience as they would on our regular secured network.

We actually see a ton of faculty/staff/students on our guest network, usually because they’re using devices that either 
can’t support WPA2-Enterprise or there’s some issue with the device that prevents it from joining the secured network.  
The deterrents here are that:

1.) some resources are not available from the guest network, 
2.) bandwidth limitations, and
3.) registration required every 7 days.

But honestly for most of the things that these folks are doing, things still work, so they continue to use it.
