Wireless MAC Filter 

 

The Wireless MAC (Media Access Controller) Address filter option is used to control wireless network access based 
on the MAC Address of the network adapter. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the 
network adapter. This feature can be configured to ALLOW or DENY wireless access. 
 
 
If you choose 

ALLOW computers listed to access the 

wireless

, only those clients whose wireless MAC

 

addresses are in the access control list will be able to

 

connect to your wireless router. 

 

 
 
 
When 

Deny computers listed to access the wireless 

is selected, these wireless clients on the list will not be 
able to connect the wireless router.
