Soft AP mode allows for Access Control configuration.
Access Control
The AP provides facilities to limit the wireless clients that associate with it and the
data packets that can forward through it. Filters provide network security or improve
performance by eliminating broadcast/multicast packets from the radio network.
The Access Control List (ACL) contains MAC addresses for wireless clients allowed
to associate with the AP. This provides security by preventing unauthorized access.
The AP also uses a disallowed address list of destinations. This feature prevents
the AP from communicating with specified destinations. This can include network
devices that do not require communication with the AP or its wireless clients.
Clicking Apply after configuring Soft AP will
show the “Access Control” tab.
