My system log is full of tons of AP-STA-POSSIBLE-PSK-MISMATCH from a MAC I don't recognize. Is there any way to ignore this MAC to stop it from associating with the access point?

You cannot stop an unknown device from attempting to connect to your access point unfortunately. At least you know that it won't connect, imagine seeing it connected one day :laughing:
