Blocking a Wireless Client
When a user associates a wireless client device with an AP that the controller is managing, the client device is recorded and tracked. If, for any reason, you need to block a client device from accessing the network, you can do so from the web interface.
A few reasons why you might consider blocking a wireless client device include:
- Network abuse
- Violation of acceptable use policy
- Theft
- Security compromise
