4ipnet Wireless Access Point Optimization Part 7
Good day! Today let us continue the wireless AP optimization series with "station isolation". In many Wi-Fi environments, it is not uncommon to see upwards of twenty or thirty devices connected to a single access point. Allowing direct communication between these clients would be a security concern for network operators, as malicious traffic from one client could potentially affect another. The STATION (CLIENT) ISOLATION feature on 4ipnet APs allows network operators to prevent devices connected to the same AP from communicating with one another, essentially creating a virtual network per client. Station Isolation prevents direct communication between clients on the same AP Imagine that you have a bunch of strangers connected to the same access point in a coffee shop, all of whom are assigned IP addresses by the same DHCP server, which usually means that they are on the same network (subnet). If a user were to have file sharing turned on (e.g. Windows-based system), t...
