Limiting access to your WiFi network to certain WiFi
computers and devices
Filtering by
MAC address
is a complement to your security parameters, allowing you to select the wireless
computers and devices authorized to connect to your local area WiFi network.
A
MAC
address
is a unique address created by the builder of the network device (WiFi or Ethernet), serving
to identify this element within a network.
Before enabling filtering, we recommend that you connect via WiFi all computers you wish to authorize.
To enable filtering by MAC address:
- Before you can enable filtering by MAC address,
verify that your
WiFi network is also enabled.
- Tick the
Yes box next to MAC address filtering
enabled.
To add a computer to the list:
- Click the
ADD button.

text explaining the concept of filtering by MAC
address is displayed.
- Click
Next.
