    Hi, I was wondering how to kick users off the wifi via radius desk, I have an openwrt router configured and just wanted to know port details that are required to kick a user off the wifi network this way.

    Hi James,

    Are you using a captive portal on the OpenWrt or simply using WPA2 Enterprise?

    With the the captive portal there are a few ways to disconnect the user, tested and working.

    • Sending a COA packet to the RD server if it can connect directly to the OpenWrt router (one to one with no NAT)
    • Sending a disconnect request through the heartbeat system if the OpenWrt router is behind a NAT firewall.

    With the WPA2 Enterprise they use a program called hostapd and it does look like there has been work done on this to include support for COA requests:

    I've never tried it though.

    Cheers
