Wireless MAC Address Filter
For security reason, using MAC Wireless MAC Address Filter creates another level of difficulty
to hacking a network. A Wireless MAC Address Filter is created and distributed to AP so that
only authorized NIC's can connect to the network. While MAC address spoofing is a proven
means to hacking a network this can be used in conjunction with additional security measures
to increase the level of complexity of the network security decreasing the chance of a breach.
MAC addresses can be add/delete/edit from the Wireless MAC Address Filter list depending
on the MAC Access Policy.
If you choose 'Allow Association', only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the
access control list will be able to connect to your Access Point. When 'Deny Association' is
selected, these wireless clients on the list will not be able to connect the Access Point.
