8.1 Settings

This function exploits the uniqueness of the MAC (Medium Access Control) address, a unique 12-digit hexadecimal

address (for example, D8:5D:4C:B4:46:EA) of every network device, to determine if the device can or cannot access

your wireless network.

I want to:

Prevent unauthorized users from accessing my wireless network by utilizing the network

device’s MAC address and IP address.

For example, I have a computer that is connected to my wireless network. Now, an unknown

device (an intruder) is also using my wireless network, which affects my Internet speed. I need

the following capabilities to control my wireless network:

1. My computer is always allowed to access the wireless network.

2. The unknown device is not allowed to access the wireless network.

3. When there are guests, they can use the wireless network with my permission.

4. I don’t need to change my network’s password.

How can I

do that?

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the

router.

2. Go to

Advanced

Security

Settings

. Enable SPI Firefall.

3. Switch on the DoS Protection on/off button. Setting the priority to protect the router from

being attacked by TCP-SYN Flood, UDP Flood and ICMP-Flood in the screen. Click Save.

4. The blocked dos host list will display in the screen below.

Completed!

Now the intruder can no longer access your wireless network.
