Configure “Advance” (Expert setting)

Click the “Advance Settings” button and the following dialogue box will pop
up. Click “Yes” to configure AP or “No” to terminate configuration.

When “YES” selected, the Advanced Setting dialog box with two functional
buttons will be displayed on the screen:

MAC Address Filter

MAC address:

Filtering and Access Control:

Unique 48-bit, hard-coded Media Access Control address

known as the station identifier.

The wireless access point can limit the

wireless devices that associate with it and the data packets that are
forwarded through it. Filters can provide a degree of security and improve
network performance by eliminating broadcast/multicast packets from the
radio network. The MAC Address Filter contains the MAC address of every
wireless device allowed to associate with the access point. This prevents
unauthorized access to network resources.
