A Wi-Fi deauthentication attack is a type of denial-of-service attack that targets communication between a user and a Wi-Fi wireless access point. -Wikipedia As you can see, this type of attack is pretty powerful and difficult to detect who is attacking.

Can you please deauthenticate”. Once deauthenticated, then the client will reconnect to AP (Access Point). These types of frames are supposed to send by valid “AP” to its clients, but the attacker can mimic these frames and broadcast in the network. ...
