MAC Filter Panel
The MAC (Media Access Control) filter is used to grant (“whitelist”) or block (“blacklist”) wireless
devices access to the Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G networks. Access is based on the MAC address of each
wireless device.
MAC filtering can prevent unauthorized wireless de
vices from connecting to your network.
MAC filtering increases security of your network. You can giv
e access to your network, based on the
MAC address of the wireless devices. This makes it harder for a hacker to use a MAC address to
access your network.
