Set Up a Wireless Access List by MAC Address

You can set up a list of computers and wireless devices that are allowed to join the wireless

network. This list is based on the unique MAC address of each computer and device.

Each network device has a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address,

containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and separated by colons (for

example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the wireless

card or network interface device. If you do not have access to the label, you can display the

MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find the

MAC addresses in the Attached Devices screen.

 To restrict access based on MAC addresses:

1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.

2. Click the Set Up Access List button.

The Wireless Card Access List screen displays.
