1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a network device from a user device, a user device identifier, wherein the network device is configured to;
provide access to a first wireless network and a second wireless network,wirelessly transmit a first service set identifier (SSID) that identifies the first wireless network, andwirelessly transmit a second SSID that identifies the second wireless network;
sending, by the network device to a computing device, the user device identifier and a network device identifier, wherein the computing device is configured to manage a plurality of identifiers comprising the user device identifier and the network device identifier;
receiving, by the network device from the computing device based on an association between the user device identifier and the network device identifier, a filter list indicating the user device identifier;
filtering, by the network device based on the filter list, the second SSID such that the user device is inhibited from accessing the second wireless network; and
allowing, by the network device based on the filter list, the user device to access the first wireless network.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise transmitting a first identifier associated with a first service. Access to the first service can be provided to a user device using the first identifier. A filter element associated with the user device can be received. Transmission of a second identifier associated with a second service can be filtered based on the filter element, wherein filtering transmission inhibits access of the user device to the second service.

1. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a network device from a user device, a user device identifier, wherein the network device is configured to; provide access to a first wireless network and a second wireless network, wirelessly transmit a first service set identifier (SSID) that identifies the first wireless network, and wirelessly transmit a second SSID that identifies the second wireless network; sending, by the network device to a computing device, the user device identifier and a network device identifier, wherein the computing device is configured to manage a plurality of identifiers comprising the user device identifier and the network device identifier; receiving, by the network device from the computing device based on an association between the user device identifier and the network device identifier, a filter list indicating the user device identifier; filtering, by the network device based on the filter list, the second SSID such that the user device is inhibited from accessing the second wireless network; and allowing, by the network device based on the filter list, the user device to access the first wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A method, comprising:
-
providing, by a plurality of access points, access to a first wireless network, wherein each of the plurality of access points is configured to wirelessly transmit a first service set identifier (SSID) that identifies the first wireless network; providing, by a first access point of the plurality of access points, access to a second wireless network, wherein the first access point is configured to wirelessly transmit a second SSID that identifies the second wireless network; receiving, by the first access point, a first identifier associated with a user device; sending, by the first access point to a computing device, the first identifier and a second identifier associated with the first access point; receiving, by the first access point from the computing device based on an association between the first identifier and the second identifier, a filter list indicating the first identifier; and filtering, by the first access point based on a location of the user device and based on the filter list, the first SSID such that the user device is inhibited from accessing the first wireless network while allowing the user device to access the second wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a first access point from a user device, an access request, wherein the first access point is associated with a first identifier, wherein the user device is associated with a second identifier, and wherein the first access point is configured to provide access to a public wireless network and a private wireless network; sending, by the first access point to a computing device, the first identifier and the second identifier; receiving, by the first access point from the computing device based on an association between the first identifier and the second identifier, a filter list comprising the second identifier and an identifier of the public wireless network; and filtering, by the first access point based on the filter list, the public wireless network such that the user device is inhibited from accessing the public wireless network while allowing the user device to access the private wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
