Deauthorizing a Wireless Client

If you want to force wireless clients that joined the wireless network through an authentication portal (for example, a hotspot, guest access or web authentication portal) to reauthenticate themselves, you can deauthorize them. Deauthorized wireless clients remain connected to the wireless network, but these clients will be redirected to the authentication portal whenever they attempt to access network resources.

1. On the menu, click Clients > Wireless Clients.
2. From the list wireless clients, locate the client that you want to deauthorize. 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 Deauthorize button above the table. The table refreshes, and then the client that you deauthorized disappears from the list.
