    Abstract: In a computer network, communication connections may be established between client devices and network devices. An algorithm may be generated and used as a method to identify and resolve issues with Uplink communications between client devices and network devices. When an issue with an Uplink communication is identified, a total number of issues with the communication may be determined. Determining that the total number of issues with a communication is greater than a threshold, the client device associated with the communication may be deauthenticated from the respective network device. After a client device is deauthenticated from a network device, the total number of deauthentications may be determined with the network device. Determining the total number of deauthentications with a network device is greater than a threshold, the radio of the network device may be disabled to deauthenticate all connected client devices. Solutions may be implemented according to the issues identified.

    Abstract: An access point (AP) in a deployment may be attacked by a rogue AP. The rogue AP may transmit fake beacons that include a fake/incorrect basic service set (BSS) color that does not match the BSS color assigned to/used by the AP under attack. Due to this BSS color mismatch, stations associated to the AP under attack may switch to the fake/incorrect BSS color, and communications between the AP under attack and the stations may be disrupted, and can eventually lead to service denial. Systems and methods are provided for leveraging the BSS color feature to identify when a rogue AP is attacking another AP. Upon detecting an attack, the BSS color feature may be disabled to mitigate the level of service disruption to the AP under attack and the stations associated to that AP.
