10.4 Access Control
For security reason, using MAC ACL's (MAC Address Access List) creates another level of difficulty to
hacking a network. A MAC ACL is created and distributed to AP so that only authorized NICs can connect to
the network. While MAC address spoofing is a proven means to hacking a network this can be used in
conjunction with additional security measures to increase the level of complexity of the network security
decreasing the chance of a breach.
MAC addresses can be add/delete/edit from the ACL list depending on the MAC Access Policy.
If you choose 'Allowed Listed', only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the access control
list will be able to connect to your Wi-Fi Router. When 'Deny Listed' is selected, these wireless clients on the
list will not be able to connect the Wi-Fi Router. To access the Wireless Network Access Control page:
