Built-in DHCP Server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes for the
easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP
addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a
complicated networking setup.
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can set up a list of Media Access Control (MAC)
addresses (unique client identifiers) that are allowed access to your
wireless network. Every computer equipped with a wireless network
adapter has its own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into
a list using the web-based user interface and you can control access to
your network.
