Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address
For increased security, you can restrict access to an SSID by allowing access to only specific
computers or wireless stations based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to
only trusted computers so that unknown computers cannot wirelessly connect to the wireless
access point. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your
network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.
Note: For wireless adapters, you can usually find the MAC address printed
on the wireless adapter.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Select Con
