Congratulations! You have configured your Gateway for WPA security.
NOTE: Wireless access to the Gateway may be interrupted and wireless stations may require reconfiguration.
12.4 MAC Filtering
The following screen will appear if you select Wireless > MAC Filtering from the main menu. This feature allows
only wireless stations that have been added to the MAC Filtering table to have access to the Gateway. All other
stations will be blocked. This is an effective way to ensure that only those devices you designate can join your
network. However, it does not replace other security measures. With security turned off and MAC filtering turned
on, unwanted (unauthorized) stations cannot connect to your network, but they can still eavesdrop on your
unsecured data transmissions.
