Method and system for controlling wireless network access client

Abstract

Provided are a method and system for controlling access to a wireless network by a client. The method comprises: detecting a signal intensity of an accessing client associated to a wireless network interface, and acquiring configuration information related to the accessing client; if the configuration information related to the accessing client does not exist in a hash table of a wireless apparatus, determining whether the signal intensity of the accessing client reaches a preset threshold; if so, storing the configuration information related to the accessing client in the hash table; and assigning an ebtables rule to the configuration information related to the accessing client, and allowing the accessing client to establish wireless communication with the wireless apparatus. The method and system for controlling access to a wireless network by a client provided in an embodiment of the invention can control the number of accessing clients, thereby preventing an excessive use of a wireless resource.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless network communication, in particular to a method and system for controlling wireless network access to a client. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of wireless network communication technologies, people are more and more used to using wireless networks for various activities, such as watching videos, shopping, and browsing web pages. Currently, people usually connect to a wireless network through a wireless function of a wireless device. The wireless function of the wireless device is to forward the broadband network signal to nearby access clients through the antenna, such as laptops, smart phones and all devices with WIFI functions. [0003] In the prior art, the access client often enters the password of the wireless network. When the password is correct, the authentication succeeds, and thus the wireless device can be connected. If the authentication fails, the wir...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] When a certain area is densely populated, such as in a large shopping mall or a large conference, due to the small number of wireless devices and the large number of people using the wireless network, this will cause excessive use of wireless resources, resulting in insufficient bandwidth of wireless resources. support the use of these

Therefore, in the prior art, once the password of the wireless device is known, it can be connected to the wireless device. Such a method often causes excessive use of wireless resources, and eventually causes the access client to fail to perform normal network communication.
