Manually Block A Wifi Client Or Connection From A 5 Ghz Ssid - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Manually block a WiFi client or connection
from a 5 GHz SSID
You can manually block a WiFi client (that is, kick a client) or connection from a
5 GHz SSID.
If you do so, an ACL that denies the MAC address of the client is automatically added
to the 5 GHz SSID from which you blocked the client. That ACL denies access to the
client but allows access all other clients. You can manually delete the client from the
ACL, after which the client is no longer denied access to the SSID. For more information,
see Set up a MAC filter for a 5 GHz SSID on page 89.
To manually block a WiFi client or connection from a 5 GHz SSID:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 31.
3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified
the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight
Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to
which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight
App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13).
The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections.
4. Under Overview, select Connections.
The page that displays shows the Connection List - 5GHz table.
For more information, see View the 5 GHz WiFi connections on page 124.
5. To block a client or device, click the associated Kick button in the Block column on
the right.
A pop-up window opens.
6. Click the OK button.
The client no longer displays on the page, but the automatically created ACL is not
yet saved.
