Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address
The Access Control List option lets you block the network access privilege of any specified
stations through the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point. 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.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Log in to the WN802T v2 using the default address of 192.168.0.233, user name of admin and
default password of password, or whatever LAN address and password you have set up (see
Figure 2-1).
2. Under the Configuration tab, select Security on the main menu, select Advanced from the
side menu, and then select Access Control List. The Access Control List screen displays. (see
Figure 3-9).
Note: When configuring the WN802T v2 from a wireless computer whose MAC address
is not in the access control list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you will lose
your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the
wireless access point from a wired computer or from a wireless computer that is
on the access control list to make any further changes.
