Hi, I’ve a client with some tablets he use to show the menu online, he has two SSID, the private one where the tabet should connect to access interent and show menu/pictures and the public SSID with autorization requests and limited time of surfing.
Chances are, clients or weitress love to connect to public IP while they shouldn’t and the tablet periodically auto connects there and hangs interent because without autorizazion (or after autorization time out) it can’t surf more. Everybody becomes crazy because they see the wifi simbol connected, and can’t realize why it doesn’t work.
I would block those MACs to connect on public SSID only, I can’t filter MAC on Access Point because I’ll kill the connection to the proper SSID too, I may create a roule.. but I guess the easiset and lighter solution is to don’t give it an IP, if not it will connect to another known SSID.
On DHCP settings I can create a static association, but I can’t “block” a mac address, how can I do it? Thanks
So the idea being is that you statically set DHCP lease for tablet in public SSID, and then use block access check box.
You should also set Static DHCP lease for tablet on private SSID .
Thank you for help mates, so what I did: I’ve used on WInbox the button + and added manually as seen here, I’ve tried different combinations, use src MAC or not, allo dual stack or not, the device has delay to obtain the IP but finally it does use it, and I don’t see the log any block occured, pity that Mikrotik doesn’t log when it blocks DHCP so I can be sure about that. When I connect to the proper SSID I see the release, so the roule seams not interfeer with the right usage.
Chances are in my case, the device do remember the latest IP he used of that public network and try to use it again even if DHCP didn’t answer, does it has sense?
I’ve tried to forget the wifi network and connect again, reboot tablet and router, it behaves the same. I hope on next days it will definely forget that IP..
