@Dashrender Do they say they want to print from their phones?
If not, why do they want to be on corporate wifi? -

I have no idea why they want to be there - other than - I'm an owner.

If they still insist, let them be. -

Ask them to explain the perceived benefit so that you can address the issue.

Also tell them that the act of being on the corporate wifi will mean that the device must comply with all HIPAA requirements. Cost of compliance and the fines for the lack there of should assist.

Or just create another SSID for them? I'm not for SSID sprawl, but most gear should be able to handle 3 SSIDs without too much trouble.

SSID sprawl,… lol. I think we have six SSID,…
Creating another still will require being compliant with policies,..

We have a corporate WiFi and a guest WiFi network.
The owners keep asking to put their personal phones on the corporate WiFi - The only thing this could gain them is access to the printers to print from their phones, but it's not something they have ever done.
Am I just dieing on a hill for no reason wanting them to put their personal devices on the guest WiFi?
Flip the ssid names and tell them you did it
