I stayed in a hotel last week in which my WiFi router(s) didn't work (I bring a hotspot that bridges the hotel Wifi for security and convenience). I got disconnects immediately after connection attempts. I checked for deauth packets using a simple sniffer, and there were indeed a high amount of deauth packets across all channels. The hotel wifi could be connected to. When taking our router offsite to see if that resolved it, it indeed had no issues offsite. I think this hotel is illegally jamming wifi hotspots. Defective equipment would not selectively jam all hotspots, besides the hotel's.
Thoughs?
