The Wi-Fi filter should be used only
as an additional option. By using it
you could limit access to your wire-
less network, but without encryption
it would be relatively easy for third
parties to eavesdrop on all of your
data transmissions.
To use the Wi-Fi filter, enable the option Enable fil-
ters. Now you can enter various network devices indi-
vidually or copy multiple network devices by means of
what is known as your MAC address for access to your
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac. Confirm your action with
Add. Network devices or stations connected to your
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac are automatically listed, that
is, to enable an already connected station for the
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac, simply select the MAC ad-
dress of the respective device and confirm it with Add.
This then appears under Approved Wi-Fi stations.
To remove an enabled station, select its MAC address
and confirm it with Delete.
The MAC address designates the hardware in-
terface of each individual network device
uniquely (e.g. the Wi-Fi card of a computer or
the Ethernet port of a printer). It consists of six
double-digit hexadecimal numbers, each sep-
arated by a colon (e.g. 00:0B:3B:37:9D:C4).
In general, the MAC address is on the housing
of the device.
You can easily determine the MAC address of a Win-
dows computer by opening the window with the com-
mand prompt under Start All Programs
Accessories Command Prompt. Enter the com-
mand IPCONFIG /ALL here. The MAC address is dis-
played under the designation Physical address.
After entering the MAC addresses, do not forget to
click the Save button. If the entered values are incor-
rect, a corresponding error message is displayed.
Keep in mind that you also have to
enter the MAC address of your own
computer if you are connected to the
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac not via the
Ethernet port, but via Wi-Fi. Other-
wise you will block your own access
to the device via Wi-Fi by activating
the Wi-Fi filter!
