Setting MAC Address Filtering
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.
