Setting MAC Address Filtering
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you
to specify which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer
attempting to access the 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) on your network to allow network access to each.
