MAC Filtering

MAC Filtering prevents unknown Wi-Fi clients from using your
access point. A MAC address is a low-level network ID which is
unique to a device. Access is allowed only for trusted clients.

Note: Before enabling this feature, ensure that the MAC address of your own

PC is included in the Trusted Client list.

Enable MAC Filtering

Enable MAC Filtering: Click or touch the checkbox to enable MAC

Address Filtering.
When the featured is enabled only Trusted Clients can connect. If the
MAC address is in the Trusted Client MAC Address List, access is
allowed. Otherwise, access is blocked.
When this feature is disabled the MAC address of each Wi-Fi client is
not checked. All clients will be allowed to connect.

Note: Whether enabled or disabled, clients must have the correct Wi-Fi

Security settings to connect.

MAC addresses of trusted clients are listed here. If you have not
