1) If you are using the 2.4ghz frequency, then yes, it's highly likely there was lots of interference from all the cells phones in the room, also broadcasting in the 2.4ghz range.

2) Does the school also have wireless? The schools wireless AP's could also be broadcasting in the 2.4ghz band. Again that creates even more "noise".

1) I bet it is on 2.4ghz now that I think about it.
2) And yes, it does, they have 2 AP's in the gym alone.

Thanks for the heads-up about the 2.4ghz band, I'll make sure we keep in on 5ghz from now on.
