Planning on limiting signal using a physical mechanism of some sort's just a little too scifi to be useful.
It's too much effort to shield the room itself, but you might want to try making the inverse square law work for you by shielding all of the wireless antennae so that the signal is too weak to travel more than a meter or two. Put extra shielded wireless access points on the conference tables so that everyone can place their laptops within range of a signal. But make sure that you thoroughly test the reception both inside and outside the room to be certain that there are no leaks. No guarantees but I'd be interested to hear a report if you try this. --Michael Dillon

However, if you're talking about one room only, and you're trying to prevent outsiders from sniffing, why not just use a cheap workgroup switch/hub? Having to buy multiple WAPs and insulate them quickly destroys the wireless value-add... -David Barak ===== David Barak -fully RFC 1925 compliant- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
