4. 4. 3. Wireless MAC Filtering
Wireless MAC Filtering is used to deny or allow specific wireless client devices to access
your network by their MAC addresses. This function is not available when the operation
is set to Client. As the configuration is the same in each operation mode, here we just
take the Access Point for example.
Deny or allow specific wireless client devices to access my
network by their MAC addresses.
For example
, you want the wireless client A with the MAC
address 00-0A-EB-B0-00-0B and the wireless client B with the
MAC address 00-0A-EB-00-07-5F to access the access point,
but other wireless clients cannot access the access point.
