Allowing or Denying Computers Access to the Network (MAC
Filter)
MAC (Media Access Control) filtering can prevent unauthorized wireless devices from
connecting to your network.
The MAC filter is used to grant (“white list”) or block (“black list”) wireless devices access to the
Main and Guest Wi-Fi networks. Access is based on the MAC address of each wireless device.
In the MAC Filter page (
Wi-Fi > Mac Filter
), you can choose one of three modes:
●
None
– All computers are allowed to access the network.
●
Black list
– All computers are allowed to access the network, unless they’re in this list.
●
White list
– Only computers that are in this list are allowed to access the network.
Regardless of the mode, a user must provide the correct Wi-Fi password to access the network.
