How to limit the number of devices to access wifi

Hi everyone.

I have a business wifi network, and I want to provide account for employee to access it. But I want each account to have only 2 devices, if logged in on the 3rd device, there will be one device being logged out. How do I do ?

You can create a MAC ACL only allowing the 2 devices/employee so whatever other device tries to connect will be rejected.

Whatever MAC address is added to the ACL will be allowed to connect and all other devices will be automatically rejected. So if you add a phone and tablet and the employee tries to connect using a laptop, the latter will be rejected. In case of using MAC ACL please make sure that randomized mac is disabled on the devices.

You cannot filter on number of devices/employee, meaning to create a rule only allowing 2 devices per employee, irrespective of what they are.
