Restricting wireless access by MAC address

When a wireless card access list is conﬁgured and enabled, the router

checks the MAC address of any wireless device attempting a connection

and allows only connections to computers identiﬁed on the trusted

computer list. The MAC address is a network device’s unique 12-charac-

ter physical address,containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or

A–F only. The MAC address is in the format of XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX.

To restrict wireless access by MAC address:

Step 1 Click Setup Access List button in the Wireless Advanced

Settings page to display the Wireless Card Access List page.

Step 2 Click Add to add a wireless device to the wireless access

control list. The Wireless Card Access Setup page is dis-

played.

Step 3 If the computer you want appears in the Available Wireless

Cards list, you can select the radio button of that computer

to obtain its MAC address. Otherwise, you can manually

enter a name and MAC address of the computer to be

authorized. Generally, the MAC address is labeled on the

bottom of the wireless device.

Step 4 Click Add to add this wireless device to the wireless card

access list. The page jumps to the list page.
