Setting MAC Address Control
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers
are allowed on the wireless network. Note: This list applies only to wireless computers. This list
can be configured so any computer attempting to access the wireless network that is not
specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you enable this feature, you must enter the
MAC address of each client (computer) to which you want to allow network access. The “Block”
feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer without having to
add and remove the computer’s MAC address from the list.
