A mobile device and user association system can include wireless routers to execute software for capturing data including received signal strength (RSS) values and media access controller (MAC) addresses for a number of mobile devices (MDs) from existing wireless fidelity (WiFi) traffic. The system can also include a server to receive the RSS values and MAC addresses of the MDs to estimate a location of each MD and generate historical location data of each MD, identify and filter out temporary MDs, classify each non-temporary MDs as either a static device (SD) or a mobile phone (MP), and associate a user with each SD and MP.
