Managing the MAC Filter list

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.

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.
