Locating 802.11 clients without dedicated tags relies on the clients actively transmitting signals.If a client's radio is disabled or the device is powered off, it will not emit any signals, making it impossible for the WLAN infrastructure to detect or locate it.While 802.11k support and RF channel selection can affect the accuracy and efficiency of location tracking, they do not prevent the basic ability to detect a client that is actively transmitting.
