 ====== Block devices via script/scheduler ======
-The easiest way to filter WiFi devices is to use the [[basic-wfilter|Wireless Filter]] menu. However, there are times when you want to block specific devices via a script. Scripting makes it easier to manage device blocking for a lot of devices. It also allows you to schedule blocking/filtering on or off, as needed.
