Wireless MAC Authentication
Click Wireless MAC Authentication from any Wireless screen to generate the
Wireless MAC Authentication screen. This screen lets you allow or deny access to
the Modem Router’s wireless network for any wireless devices (such as laptop com-
puters) by the devices’ MAC address. A MAC address is a unique code that identi-
fies every wireless-capable device (printers, computers, hard drives, etc.).
To set up authentication on the Modem Router’s wireless network using
MAC addresses:
Select a wireless network name from the SSID drop-down list.1.
Turn on MAC authentication by clicking in the Enable radio button.2.
Select a filtering method. Activating the radio button next to Allow Device 3.
List creates a list of wireless devices that will be allowed to join the wireless
network–all other devices will not be able to join. Activating the radio button
next to Deny Device List creates a list of wireless devices that cannot join the
wireless network–all other devices will be able to join.
