MAC Address Filtering
MAC Address Filtering allows you to deny access or allow access to
specific users connecting to the network. Each networking device has a
unique address called a MAC address (a 12 digit hex number). By
inputting the MAC address into the field, you can define whether that
device is allowed into your network
or
not allowed. A MAC Address may
sometimes be referred to as a Physical Address. Most networking devices
have their MAC Address located on a label on the actual device.
For Windows computers with internal networking adapters, the MAC
Address can be found by viewing the Network Connection Details of the network adapter. The MAC Address
will be listed as the Physical Address.
Be sure to enter the MAC Address without any symbols. For example, a MAC Address of 78-DD-78-AA-78-BB
would be entered as 78DD78AA78BB.
Note: Each Wi-Fi Network (WLAN/SSID) must also have MAC Filters selected as Additional Authentication
methods in order for MAC Filtering to work. This can be configured here: Wi-Fi Settings > 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz Wi-
Fi Settings > Security.
