Disconnecting a Wireless Client

If you need to temporarily disconnect a wireless client from the wireless network, you can do so from the web interface. For example, if you are troubleshooting problematic network connections, you might have to manually disconnect wireless clients as part of the troubleshooting process.

Follow these steps to disconnect a wireless client from the WLAN to which it is connected.
  1. On the menu, click Clients > Wireless Clients.
  2. From the list wireless clients, locate the client that you want to disconnect. If you have a large number of wireless clients and you know the MAC address of the client, enter the MAC address in the search box, and then press <Enter> to search for the client.
  3. When you have located the client, select it, and then click the Disconnect button above the table. The table refreshes, and then the client that you disconnected disappears from the list.
