The WiFi jammers have an interesting MO. They don't throw up static on the frequency, that would also block their own wifi. They spoof de-authentication packets. I've been looking for a way to detect this kind of jamming because my WiFi sucks and I live next to three hotels, what you get for living in downtown Atlanta.
Blocking WiFi (jamming or deauth attacks) isn't allowed. The Marriott recently got slapped with a fine for doing so. Tell the FCC that the local hotels are doing it: https://www.fcc.gov/document/warning-wi-fi-blocking-prohibited http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/01/fcc-blocking-wi-fi-in-hotels-is-p... https://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/jammer-enforcement https://transition.fcc.gov/eb/jammerenforcement/jamfaq.pdf
