Advanced Access Point Setup

MAC Address Filters

Access > MAC Filters

Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. Using

MAC filters, you can allow or deny specific computers and other devices from using this

access point’s wireless network. You can enter up to 24 MAC address entries.

1. Log into your access point management page (see “

Access your access point

management page” on page 8).

2. Click on Access, click on MAC Filters.

3. Review the MAC Filter options, click Save Settings to save settings.

Click the Configuring MAC Filtering below drop-down list to choose the MAC filter

function.

• Turn MAC Filtering OFF: disables the MAC address filter.

• Turn MAC Filtering ON and ALLOW computers listed to access the network Only

Allow computers/devices with MAC addresses listed to access the access point

management page and the Internet. Deny all others. Turn MAC Filtering ON and

DENY computers listed to access the network

Only Deny computers/devices with MAC addresses listed to access to the access point

management page and the Internet. Allow all others.

Note: MAC filter can be configured to allow access to the listed MAC address and deny

all others unlisted or vice versa. The recommended function is to choose to only allow

access to the MAC addresses listed and deny all others unlisted because it is easier to

determine the MAC addresses of devices in your network then to determine which MAC

addresses you do not want to allow access.

Before saving settings, add the MAC addresses to the MAC Table and configure the

options first.

• MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the devices you would like to filter. (e.g.

00:11:22:AA:BB:CC)

Note: If you uncertain of the device MAC address, please refer to your computer or

device documentation to find the MAC address.

• Schedule: Select from the pull down menu a schedule of when to apply the MAC

filter rule, or click Add New to add a new schedule.
