A higher level of security can be achieved for your wireless network if you use
both encryption and you specify only certain wireless computers can connect to
the Gateway. By default, any wireless computer that has the same Service Area
Name/SSID, channel and encryption settings as the Gateway can connect to it.
Select Only Authorised Wireless PC's can connect to the Gateway to configure this
feature.

To create a list of Wireless computers that can access the Gateway:
1 Press the New button.
2 Specify the MAC address of the Wireless PC that is to be allowed to connect.
The drop down list on the "Add" window will contain the MAC addresses of all
Wireless PCs that are in range, currently operating, and have the same Service
Area Name/SSID, channel and encryption settings as the Gateway. You will find
this screen easier to use if you set up and make a note of all of your wireless PC's
on your network first. You may also add the entries manually if you know the
MAC address.
