How to Block a WIFI SSID from being used.

How to Block a WIFI SSID so your users/family do not have access to unprotected WIFI hotspots, for example a neighbor has a WIDE OPEN WIFI hotspot, well you may protect your own wifi with OpenDNS, however that pesky neighbor has an open door for anyone that can connect, thus going around any filter we have in place.

Well one solution we found was to use the following command: per this site
This will block that SSID, then the next step is to check that it took OK:
1. Add Block

netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid="edimax.1" networktype=infrastructure
netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid="edimax.1 2" networktype=infrastructure


2. Check

netsh wlan show filters

3. Remove Block
netsh wlan delete filter permission=block ssid="edimax.1" networktype=infrastructure
netsh wlan delete filter permission=block ssid="edimax.1 2" networktype=infrastructure
