I mind. You can't own an SSID and they are not uniquely set. Just because you have the same SSID as me what gives you the right to deauth my router?

  What is the use case for using an SSID that is already taken? Especially in a business or corporate environment.

    The use-case doesn't really matter; it's against the regulations for that radio band to interfere with other people's usage. Even if you think they're attempting to commit fraud.

      Right about radio but the thread was talking about Cisco sending deauth packets to rouge APs.
      • greglindahl 12y ago
        ... as was I! Just because you consider an AP to be rogue doesn't mean it's legal for you do something about it.
        • bhhaskin 12y ago
          Right! because who decides if it is a rogue AP. In this cause Marriott has decided that all AP's that don't belong to them are rogue.

            And I would argue that as it is their building they can decide what is legal and what is not, no?
