Wifi zapper smart phone application

Abstract

A method and system for disabling traffic from a specific device or devices on a WiFi network via a remote script or other action. In one embodiment, the method is implemented as an application that executes on a device such as a smart phone (e.g., IOS iPhone, Android operating system device) or tablet (e.g., iPad).

I claim: 
     
         1 . A method of controlling network access of devices connected to a network via a router from a mobile device, said method comprising:
 displaying on a mobile device a list of devices connected to the router;   receiving input from a user via the mobile device regarding the permission of one or more devices to access the network; and   sending permission information from the mobile device to the router to update the permission of one or more devices to access the network.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the permission information includes data disabling a device from connecting to the network via the router. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the permission information includes data enabling a device to connect to the network via the router. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a mobile phone. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a tablet. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving identifying information associated with a connected device from a user. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising before the displaying step:
 receiving router login information from the user; and   verifying the login information.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising initializing a network connection to allow a device access to the network via the router when the device is first connected to the router. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein initializing the network connection includes adding the newly connected device to a list of allowed devices. 
     
     
         10 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium with an executable program thereon, the program instructing a mobile device to:
 display on the mobile device a list of devices connected to a router;   receive input from a user via the mobile device regarding the permission of one or more devices to access a network via the router; and   send permission information from the mobile device to the router to update the permission of one or more devices to access the network.   
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein the permission information includes data disabling a device from connecting to the network via the router. 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein the permission information includes data enabling a device to connect to the network via the router. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 10 , the program further instructing the mobile device to receive identifying information associated with a connected device from a user. 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 10 , the program further instructing the mobile device to:
 receive router login information from the user; and   verify the login information before instructing the mobile device to display the list of devices connected to a router.   
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 10 , the program further instructing the mobile device to:
 initialize a network connection to allow a device access to the network via the router when the device is first connected to the router.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein initializing the network connection includes adding the newly connected device to a list of allowed devices.
