is it possible to Block cellphone users from wifi so they don't show up in wifi stats

I have set up user profiles that redirect cellphones to a dead user profile and while this works for blocking their wifi it still leaves the devices showing as connected and with poor health and an ip 0.0.0.0 which affects all the insight graphs for wifi and lowers the results.

would a firewall rule that blocks all traffic on that user profile help, I don't want the users connected at all ideally.

Thanks hence my question, is there a way to keep them out, is it possible to refuse the authentication or drop it as soon as its confirmed as being in that profile. Failing that having 500 odd devices sitting with poor/ red wireless makes the reporting percentage results look pretty bad. Is there a way of filtering that data off from the stats

Once they authenticate they'll be a part of the wireless reporting, the only way to keep them out would be for them not to connect at all. Funneling them to a dead VLAN happens after they authentication, as does any User Profile firewall rule, so they'll still show in the reports.
