So is the main factor here in all the FCC verbage become that the WiFi spectrum is NOT a licensed band and therefore does not fall under the interference regulations unless they are interfering with a licensed band? I think the first sentence below says a lot to that. The basic premise of all

You have to do both preferrably. You kill the wired port to get them off your LAN, but if they are also on one of your SSIDs or run an unsecured one the AP can bug light your clients. Given that there is an unauthorized intrusion on the wired side, I don't want him talking to my clients at all
