Abstract: Technology for selective feature announcement by an access point device in a network is described. In one embodiment, the access point device sends a wireless beacon to a plurality of client devices seeking to connect to the mesh network and receives a probe request message from a first client device of the plurality of client devices. The access point device determines, at least partially using information obtained from the probe request message and using other information not present in the probe request message, a category of the first client device and determines that the category of the first client device is incompatible with a certain feature offered by the access point device. The access point device sends a probe response message to the first client device omitting an indication of the certain feature, while the certain feature remains enabled for at least one other client device of the plurality of client devices.
