MAC Filtering
MAC filtering lets you control access to the network by allowing or
disallowing specific MAC addresses to connect to the router. You can
enter a list of up to twenty MAC addresses into the Router. This list is
known as the Control List. By enabling MAC address control, then setting
connection control settings and association control settings, you can keep
your network more secure.
Connection control
Connection control lets you allow or deny connection to wired or
wireless computers trying to access the Router. Enable Connection control
by placing a checkmark in the box. Once you have entered a MAC
address into the control table, putting a checkmark in the box under “C”
will grant that computer full access to the network. Leaving the box
unchecked will let the computer access the network to communicate with
other wired computers, but that computer will not have Internet access or
be able to communicate with wireless computers on the network. The
“allow/deny” box lets you determine if computers with MAC addresses
NOT in the control table are allowed access to the network and all of the
resources such as Internet. Selecting “deny” will not let a computer
connect unless the MAC address is in the control table.
