How do I prevent users from tampering with wireless settings?

Hi
On the Wireless Router/Access Point side you can change the default ID and
password so they can not change the wireless source parametes.  On the
client side there is not much that you can do, it was built with the idea
that it is easy to change configuration so that you can connect flexibly to
different Wireless sources.

Hi
If you describe more precisely what is your particular issue, a better
answer can be found.

I think you answered my question in your first response. Basically, we would
like to prevent students from accessing AP's outside of our campus AP's. I
configured a wireless policy, but I can not find where we can prevent anyone
from changing/adding wireless networks such as you can with wired connections.
