Restricting Access by MAC Address
For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to allow only specific PCs
based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so that unknown PCs
cannot wirelessly connect to the WNR3500v2 router. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle
against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully
exposed.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Log in to the wireless router at its default LAN address of http://www.routerlogin.net with
its default user name of admin , and default password of password , or using whatever user
name, password, and LAN address you have chosen for the wireless router.
2. From Advanced section of the main menu, select Wireless Settings, and then click Setup
Access List to display the Wireless Station Access List screen.
3. Click Add to add a wireless device to the wireless access control list. The Wireless Card
Access Setup screen opens and displays a list of currently active wireless cards and their
Ethernet MAC addresses.
Note: If you configure the router from a wireless computer, add your computer’s
MAC address to the access list. Otherwise you will lose your wireless
connection when you click Apply. You must then access the wireless router
from a wired computer, or from a wireless computer that is on the access
control list, to make any further changes.
