I setup a new network at a fast food
wireless isp -- rb493 192.168.4.x -- rb411 access point 192.169.4.x
the ssid is "restaurant"
everything works like a charm
Suddenly a "default" access point has popped up with strong signal in the area and if i connect to it and check my public ip I am seeing the public IP from my access point
leads me to believe it is a wireless client connecting and subsequently rebroadcasting the signal.
if I launch wireshark on either network I see both 192.169.4.1 (rb493), 192.169.4.2 (rb411), and 192.169.4.3 (my laptop). Occasionally I see another ip pop up but then it will go away I figure this is probably laptops and smartphones passing by the drivethru.
Anyway the point is I cant seem to locate where this ap is and what ip address its on. It all seems very odd to me.
Using Ekahau HeatMap hasnt localized the ap. Im going to bring my apple laptop and run istumbler here on monday to try and pinpoint where it is since my xp laptop driver seems to be unsupported.
the mac address is
00-1F-1F-5C-12-07 Edimax Technology Co. Ltd.
so it is definetly not a virtual AP on the mikrotik or anything like that.
can i simply block this mac address from connecting to the ap.
I CANNOT use whitelists because this is a public ap I need to BLOCK only certain MACs
