MAC Address Filter
The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by
machines based on the unique MAC addresses of their network
adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices
from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned
by the manufacturer of the network adapter.

Enable MAC Address Filter
When this is enabled, computers are granted or denied network
access depending on the mode of the filter.
Note: Misconfiguration of this feature can prevent any machine
from accessing the network. In such a situation, you can regain
access by activating the factory defaults button on the Access
Point itself.
