maze_runner 0 Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Dear All, I was wondering if there is an option to disable Wifi adapter using ESET ? I'm also looking at possiblities where I can disable wifi in office network and allow it outside the office network. Regards Maze_Runner
ESET Staff Gonzalo Alvarez 66 Posted October 24, 2016 ESET Staff Posted October 24, 2016 Hi @maze_runner, I don't know for sure, but Device Control of ESET works with the ID from the manufacturer and related to hardware. I think you can play with that and see what happens. Why you want to disable wifi inside the office? We talking about laptops right not smartphones?
maze_runner 0 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 Thank you @gonzalo for the quick response. As per the corporate policy, they want to block the USB, wifi while in OFFICE network but not when they step outside the network. I wish there was something like roaming profile in ERA. Yes...its for laptops. They want to use the LAN for internet access.
ESET Staff Gonzalo Alvarez 66 Posted October 25, 2016 ESET Staff Posted October 25, 2016 Hi @maze_runner, Never try it, but usually the Wi-Fi adapter on laptops is some kind of usb. You have to investigate for that side. I suggest you use the Nirsoft tools to get the ID hardware of the Wi-Fi adapter and try if ESET Device Control can block it. I don't have any Endpoint nearby to test, but you can limit the Wi-Fi access (perhaps blocking) by using ESET Firewall.
