My neighbor asked me if I could make him a program for managing the wifi connection to his kids devices. Basically, he wants to be able to turn wifi on/off on selected devices, on demand. I know how to de-auth ALL devices temporarily, but that's not the goal. He asked because I am always looking for new ideas to work/practice on. And no, this isn't a vague post to try and get info on hacking into my neighbors wifi, lol... I set it up and have all the credentials. Is this within reach?

Just use a semi-decent router that has two wifis (sometimes called "guest network") and put in the kid restrictions on one of them. Then pray that they won't be using their mobile data plans and blast the bill through the roof.

it depends on your neighbor's hardware :)

A lot of routers will have the ability to have restricted hours or per device blocking. Get inside and look around, if it doesn't handle it but one that does.

Standard router with 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Devices to "shut off" are an Xbox one, a chromebook, and 2 iPhones

@klutch the router needs to be able to do it, iPhones do change MAC addresses, so be wary of that if you only block based on MAC.

You could reserve ip's to a few obvious devices and then full block or run in guest mode everything else and disable that as @Fast-Nop mentioned.

Yes, I thought about utilizing mac filtering/scheduling- and that would probably be fine. But, his idea was for stuff like turning it back on individually when things like assignments/chores are completed, etc.

Also, thanks so much for the input!!!

Haa@molaram haha!!!! It's actually a pretty decent home router

put in a function where the kids can buy internet access from you with daddys credit card 😄

@molaram Although that would also require access to the client devices these days.

@molaram Think a little about it before I spoiler.

@molaram That might also work, yeah, at least with some websites. My idea was more like a corporate proxy which breaks up https reliably.

Tge deauther project for the ESP8266 can kick individua MACs as well.

Its just sending a management packet to either the Broadcast MAC or a Unicast MAC to determine who gets kicked out.
Even though this flaw was fixed a long time ago, almost nobody has bothered to implement that fix. It is also required by both the router and the client. So chances of working are probably still 99%.

You can also specify the reason of the kick. I had tested that. You can kick someone for "wrong password" which will make the client forget it because its considered wrong and should be retyped. Basically you remove the WiFi with that from the wifi list of the client.

Search for "deauther esp8266 git". Get a esp8266 and after testing it modify the software to automate the process. Like pull a maclist from a http server on a wifi to update the "banned/jammed devices list".
