7.1.2 MAC Filter
This MAC Filter page allows access to be restricted/allowed based on a MAC address.
All NICs have a unique 48-bit MAC address burned into the ROM chip on the card.
When MAC address filtering is enabled, you are restricting the NICs that are allowed
to connect to your access point. Therefore, an access point will grant access to any
computer that is using a NIC whose MAC address is on its “allows” list.
Wi-Fi routers and access points that support MAC filtering let you specify a list of
MAC addresses that may connect to the access point, and thus dictate what devices
are authorized to access the wireless network. When a device is using MAC filtering,
any address not explicitly defined will be denied access.
MAC Restrict mode:
Off - disables MAC filtering; Allow – permits access for the
specified MAC address; deny ; reject access of the specified MAC address, then click
the SET button.
