An example apparatus includes a first communication radio to collect records of network traffic on a communication network and a second communication radio to transmit the records identifying a portion of the network traffic to an audience measurement entity. The example apparatus further includes a MAC address determiner to determine the MAC address of the second communication radio and a record filter to remove the network communication associated with the MAC address from the records.
