Alternatively, you can create a deny list. Similar to the allow list, you can configure the
wireless interface to allow all connections except those in the MAC address list.
Using MAC address filtering makes it more difficult for a hacker using random MAC
addresses or spoofing a MAC address to gain access to your network. Note you can
configure one list per WLAN interface.
To allow or deny wireless access to wireless clients based on the MAC address of the
client wireless cards, go to System > Wireless > MAC Filter.
Managing the MAC Filter list
The MAC Filter list enables you to view the MAC addresses you have added to a wireless
interface and their status; either allow or deny. It also enables you to edit and manage
MAC Filter lists.
