3.7 Configuring the MAC Address Filter for Restricting
Wireless Internet Access
Thomas noticed that his daughter Josephine spends too much time surfing the web and
downloading media files. He decided to prevent Josephine from accessing the Internet so that she
can concentrate on preparing for her final exams.
Josephine’s computer connects wirelessly to the Internet through the ADSL Device. Thomas decides
to use the Security > MAC Filter screen to grant wireless network access to his computer but not
to Josephine’s computer.
1 Thomas should check the wireless card’s MAC address on his computer first. For example, open
Command Prompt and use the “ipconfig /all” command on Windows. The Physical Address
(00:60:B3:00:B5:EB) indicates the wireless card’s MAC address.
2 Click Security > MAC Filter to open the MAC Filter screen. Select the Enable check box to
activate MAC filter function.
3 The ADSL Device automatically adds all connected net cards’ MAC addresses to the table in this
screen. Find the MAC address of Thomas’ computer in this screen. Select Allow. Click Apply.
