Allowing Devices with MAC Address Filtering
The MAC address is a factory-programmed address assigned to each hardware device. By default, the
i38HG uses its built-in hardware address. Using the MAC address filtering feature enables you to allow
wireless connection to all devices or an individual device.
Allowing all Devices
When the MAC filtering is disabled, all discovered devices are allowed. Be default, the MAC filtering is
disabled (that is, allowing all devices). This section provides instructions to allow all devices. To allow
individual devices, refer to
Allowing Individual Devices .
To disable MAC address filtering to allow all devices:
1.
Open a Web browser and enter
http://gateway.2Wire.net
to access the 2Wire i3802V user interface.
2.
Click on the Home page; the Wireless Access Point List and Unique Settings page opens.
3.
Scroll down to the
MAC Filtering
pane.
4.
Click Edit Blocked/Allowed Device List ; the Wireless MAC Filtering page opens.
Note:
This method is less secure than using the encryption key.
