Hello forum,
I would like configure the access-list to deny association to clients with a signal strength below -80.
I have tried this configuration but it does not work:
0 mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:00 interface=all signal-range=-95.-80
authentication=no forwarding=yes ap-tx-limit=0 client-tx-limit=0
private-algo=none private-key="" private-pre-shared-key=""
Can someboy help-me?
Thanks

Use noise floor threshold.

Hello,
I have change this option:
set wlan1 noise-floor-threshold=-80
But the clients with worst signal are connected still.
Regards

What version of ROS are you using?

Hello,
I use the last version.
And this is the configuration that should works.
I am going to try this weekend.
1) In the access list:
I have to set 'default-authentication=no', as clients will not use access-list entries, unless default-authentication is enabled.
As well I have to add second rule to access-list (additionally to my original rule with -95..-80), that allows client with acceptable signal to associate.
1.1 0 mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:00 interface=all signal-range=-95.-80
authentication=no forwarding=yes ap-tx-limit=0 client-tx-limit=0
private-algo=none private-key="" private-pre-shared-key=""
1.2 mac-address=00:00:00:00:00:00 interface=all signal-range=-80.0
authentication=yes forwarding=yes ap-tx-limit=0 client-tx-limit=0
private-algo=none private-key="" private-pre-shared-key=""
2) Noise-floor-threshold is supported only by few old wireless chipsets, that's why access-list configuration is more recommended one.
Thanks
