Works a lot here.I find unplugging the wifi most effective.

@Breffni-Potter & @mlnews
Both excellent options........BUT!!!! not the one I was hoping for lol.Is Radius still the "in thing" to handle authentication on Wireless stuff or is there a new and better thing we can look into. I don't moind spending company money!!
-
Radius is still quite standard. Don't know if it is the "in thing" anymore, but still very common, popular and accepted.

If you have Active Directory, you could look at their implementation of RADIUS so you only have one user account to worry about, though that probably wouldn't solve your phones on the wrong network problem.

Yeah we have AD.
Is just using Username good enough or should we look at using certificates? -

Works a lot here.What's to stop people from simply getting it off their laptop (or their colleague's laptop)?
I will watch this thread with interest as I have a similar problem. At the moment I go into Unifi and manually block any devices that I don't recognise, which keeps things under control but isn't ideal.

Similar to us at the moment. What I want as a end goal is once a machine has been imaged and logged on with new user Via a cable. It will get WiFi settings from GPO and just connect when the machine is out and about.
Then change the SSID to Corp leaving the guest one for phones and other devices that's isolated already

What happens is the moment I see your personal device on my network, you hear about it.
If I see it again, your manager hears about it.
