MAC Filter Application Example:
Your router functions as an active DHCP server and delivers an unsecured wireless network. From
time to time, you suffer from slow network speed and start to suspect unauthorized accesses to
your network. You can set MAC filter rules to allow only your PC at 00:E4:A5:44:35:69 and your
wireless device at 00:E4:A5:44:35:6A to access Internet via this router.
