Abstract
A dynamic radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) connection threshold is determined, with machine learning, based on previous Wi-Fi 6E connection data for the Wi-Fi 6E access point. An authentication request frame (or other type of frame) is received from a Wi-Fi 6E client that received a beacon. The authentication request or other management frame includes an RSSI measurement characterizing signal strength between the Wi-Fi 6E client and the Wi-Fi 6E access point. It is determining whether the RSSI measurement of the authentication request frame satisfies the machine learning RSSI threshold as a minimum signal strength for connections. Responsive to the RSSI measurement not satisfying the RSSI threshold, the connection with the Wi-Fi 6E client is refused.
