Abstract
A method of operating an access point in a wireless network is provided. The method can include detecting that a client in the wireless network is connecting to, connected to, or communicating with an unauthorized access point. The method can further include using the access point to send a spoofed management frame impersonating the unauthorized access point to the client in response to detecting that the client is connected to or communicating with the unauthorized access point. The spoofed management frame can include a channel switch announcement information element and/or an extended channel switch announcement information element directing the client to switch to a new channel so that the client disconnects from the unauthorized access point.
