Soft AP (Windows XP/Vista) Cont.

Soft AP mode allows you to configure Access Control settings.

Access Control

The AP provides facilities to limit the wireless clients that associate with it and the

data packets that can forward through it. Filters provide network security or improve

performance by eliminating broadcast/multicast packets from the radio network.

The Access Control List (ACL) contains MAC addresses for wireless clients allowed

to associate with the AP. This provides security by preventing unauthorized access.

The AP also uses a disallowed address list of destinations. This feature prevents

the AP from communicating with specified destinations. This can include network

devices that do not require communication with the AP or its wireless clients.

Enter a MAC Address on the Access

Control page and select “Accept” or

“Reject” or “Disable” from the pull-down

menu.

Clicking

Apply after configuring Soft

AP will show the “Access Control” tab.
