Deny Access to a WiFi-Enabled Device
By default, access control is disabled so that it is easy for you to connect to the extender WiFi
networks.
You can deny network access to specific WiFi-enabled devices based on their MAC
addresses. Each network device is assigned a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character
physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and
separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the
label of the WiFi-enabled device. If you cannot access the label, you can display the MAC
address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find the MAC
addresses on the Connected Devices page (see
29).
