Setting MAC Address Control
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that lets you 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.
