Wireless Configuration 2-7
v1.0, June 2007
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Connect to the gateway and log in as described in “Viewing or Changing Wireless Settings” on
page 2-4.
2. Click Wireless Settings, and then select the Turn Access Control On check box.
When you enable access control, the access point only accepts connections from clients on the
selected access control list. This provides an additional layer of security.
3. Click the Setup Access List button to display the Access List.
The Access List displays a list of wireless clients that will have access to the wireless network
when the list is enabled.
Note: If you are configuring the gateway from a wireless computer, make sure to add
your computer’s MAC address to the Access List. Otherwise you will lose your
wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the gateway
from a wired computer, or from a wireless computer that is on the access
control list, to make any further changes.
