Wireless Station Access List Settings
The Wireless Stations Access List lets you restrict access to your network to a specific list of
devices based on their MAC addresses. This section explains how to set up the list.
To set up the wireless station access list:
1.
On the Wireless Settings screen, click the
Setup Access List
button to display the
Wireless Station Access List screen:
2.
Select the
Turn Access Control On
check box to enable access restriction by MAC
address.
3.
In the Add New Station Manually section, click
Add
to add your computer’s MAC address so
you do not lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. If you lose your wireless
connection, you have to access the modem router from a wired computer or from a wireless
computer that is on the access control list.
4.
If a wireless station that you want to add to the Trusted Wireless Stations list is connected to
the network, select it from the Available Wireless Stations list and click
Add
.
5.
If the wireless station is not currently connected, you can enter its address manually. The
MAC address is usually printed on the wireless card, or it might appear in the modem
router’s DHCP table. The MAC address is 12
hexadecimal digits.
You can also copy and paste the MAC addresses from the modem router’s Attached
Devices screen (see
View Attached Devices
on page
62) into the MAC Address field. To
do this, configure each wireless computer to obtain a wireless link to the modem router.
The computer should then appear in the Attached Devices screen.
6.
Click
Apply
to save your settings and return to the Wireless Settings screen.
