MAC Filter Panel
The MAC (Media Access Control) filter is used to grant (“whitelist”) or block (“blacklist”) wireless
devices access to the Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G networks. Access is based on the MAC address of each
wireless device.
MAC filtering can prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network.
MAC filtering increases security of your network. You can give access to your network, based on
the MAC address of the wireless devices. This makes it harder for a hacker to use a MAC address
to access your network.
To access this panel:
1. Log in to the home page.
2. Click Advanced Settings ( ).
3. Click Wi-Fi > MAC Filter.
From this window, you can:
● Turn off MAC filtering (MAC Filter Mode = “No filtering”)
● Display a list of computers that are:
䡲 Allowed to access the network (MAC Filter Mode = “Allow all in list”)
䡲 Not allowed to access the network (MAC Filter Mode = “Block all in list”)
● Add or remove a computer from the lists. (See “Specifying Computers That Can Access the
Network” on page 87 and “Specifying Computers That Are Not Allowed to Access the Network”
on page 88.)
