helo to all mik guru, i have my hotspot working fine without any problem but my concern is the hotpot has CLIENT ISOLATION features? everytime i connected to hotspot the other hotspot user(client) shows computer name and how to stop and block this kind of issue?

thanks thanks

The way Hotspots work that - usually - cannot be done on the router. Hotspots run on a network gateway interface. Traffic between clients never flows through the router, so the router cannot block it. This is a feature you'd implement at the switch or AP level.

You _could_ make a whole lot of /30 networks, bridge them, run the Hotspot on the bridge and use the bridge or IP firewall (applied to the bridge) to block traffic between clients. But that doesn't scale well at all and is pretty much just a theoretical possibility.

Can you force the netmask of the clients to be 255.255.255.255. That should only allow the clients to talk to the router.

I've seen this used in DSL configurations to keep clients isolated.
