Archer C3200 AC3200 Wireless Tri-Band Gigabit Router
Chapter 7. Network Security
7.1 MAC Filtering
This function exploits the uniqueness of the MAC (Medium Access Control) address, a unique
12-digit hexadecimal address (for example, D8:5D:4C:B4:46:EA) of every network device, to
determine if the device can or cannot access your wireless network.
I want to:
Prevent unauthorized users from accessing my wireless network by utilizing the
network device’s MAC address and IP address.
For example, I have a computer that is connected to my wireless network. Now,
an unknown device (an intruder) is also using my wireless network, which
affects my Internet speed. I need the following capabilities to control my wireless
network:
1. My computer is always allowed to access the wireless network.
2. The unknown device is not allowed to access the wireless network.
3. When there are guests, they can use the wireless network with my
permission.
4. I don’t need to change my network’s password.
How can I
do that?
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the password you set for the router.
2. Go to Advanced>Wireless>MAC Filtering. Enable Wireless MAC
Filtering.
