You can specify those clients that will be allowed access to your wireless network using
MAC Filtering. MAC Address Filtering is not required for wireless security, but it is
recommended that you use it in addition to encryption for your data protection.
To enable MAC Address filtering and make the necessary settings for blocking clients:
1. Select MAC Filtering under the WIRELESS menu of the Web interface of your device.
2. In the window that appears, check the Enable MAC Filtering box.
3. Select “ Just Deny MAC Addresses in MAC List ”.
4. For each device to be denied access, enter the wireless MAC address of the device in
the “ New MAC Address ” field or select from “ Existing LAN Clients ” and then click the
“ ADD ” button.
5. When you are done entering the MAC addresses, click “ Save ”.
6. To add the devices that will be allowed access to the wireless network, select “ Just
Allow MAC Addresses in MAC List ” instead of “ Just Deny MAC Addresses in MAC
List ” and enter the MAC addresses.

AirTies Mesh Technology resolves the signal loss and limited coverage area problems often
encountered in multi-story, concrete buildings. To extend wireless coverage area, one or
more AirTies Wireless Access Point devices functioning in repeater mode are connected to
your device to set up a “ Mesh Network ”.
The Wireless Access Points communicate with each other via the Mesh protocol and boost
the signal wherever the signal strength is low, thus, increasing wireless range. Computers
connect to the access point with the strongest signal and get to the router over the Mesh
Network. In this way, the weak signal or dead spots due to barriers such as concrete walls
are eliminated and the coverage area can be expanded to the maximum.
