Allowing or Denying Computers Access to the Network
MAC (Media Access Control) filtering can prevent unauthorized wireless devices from
connecting to your network.
The MAC filter is used to grant (“whitelist”) or block (“blacklist”) wireless devices access to the
Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G networks. Access is based on the MAC address of each wireless device.
In the
MAC Filter
panel of the
Wi-Fi
tab (
Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi > MAC Filter
), you can
choose one of three modes:
●
No filtering
— All computers are allowed to access the network.
●
Allow all in list
— Only computers that are in this list are allowed to access the network.
●
Block all in list
— All computers are allowed to access the network, unless they’re in
this list.
In any case, a user still needs to provide the correct Wi-Fi password to access the network.
