Verizon 4G LTE Router MBR1515LVW
Restrict Access by MAC Address
For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to allow only specific
computers based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted computers
so that unknown computers cannot connect wirelessly to the Verizon 4G LTE Router. MAC
address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data
broadcast over the Wi-Fi link is fully exposed.
Note: If you configure the router from a wireless computer, add your
computer’s MAC address to the access control list. Otherwise you
lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then
access the router from a wired computer, or from a wireless
computer that is on the access control list, to make any further
changes.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Log in to the router as described in Log In to
Your Router on page 17.
2. From the main menu, select Adva
nced > Wi-Fi Settings and click the Set Up Access List
button. The following screen displays:
3. To enable access control, select the T
urn Access Control On check box. Otherwise,
access control is disabled by default so that any computer configured with the correct SSID
can connect.
