Dell SonicWall - How do I immediately terminate a connection
I have a device using a lot of bandwidth. I don't know how to identify the person since I only have an IP address, and I don't know how to get the device name from the wireless device. How I can force them off our connection immediately? Thank you!

which version of SonicOS are you running on the given device? what's the model name?

what's the version of SonicOS?

Can you please tell me where to find that information?
log on the web console of your SonicWALL device, commonly the System Information is under System > Status under in the left pane.

Hi Kris5454,
To block a wireless device, simply go to Wireless > Status, then click the Block icon, which will automatically add an Address Object for the device's MAC address and add it to the Default ACL Deny Group.
Then all you have to do is enabled/setup MAC Filter List (Wireless > MAC Filter List, then put a checkmark next to Enable MAC Filter List). By default the Deny List: will already have selected the Default ACL Deny Group. Now you have two options under the Allow List: , either:

a) select Allow All MAC Addresses, which will do just that except for any MAC addresses found in the block list or
b) Create an Allow List Group , select it and explicitly add each MAC address you want to access the WLAN.
Let me know if you have any questions!

How do I get to the "Wireless" area? I don't see it as an option on the left side of the menu for the SonicWall.
You provided the SonicOS version but what model is it (should be located in the same place as the SonicOS)?
Can you provide a screenshot of your left pane once logged into the SonicWALL?
Depending on your model you may not have built-in Wireless. If that is the case, get the MAC address from the DHCP Server Current Lease or ARP Cache sections and create an Access Rule to deny the MAC Address from its Zone to the WAN.

Ok, the NSA 3600 doesn't have built-in wireless as a feature...that feature stops in models after NSA 250M.
So in this case, get the MAC address from the DHCP Server Current Lease or ARP Cache sections and create an Access Rule to deny the MAC Address from its Zone to the WAN.

I'm almost there, but how do you specify which MAC address to deny? There isn't a field to enter that data. I can pick a group of users, but not an individual address.
