ZyXEL G-570S User's Guide
The following applies if you set the device to client mode and want to connect to an AP that
uses a MAC filter. After the device turns on in client mode, it clones the MAC address of the
first packets that it receives from devices connected to the Ethernet port. It uses this MAC
address on the packets that it sends to an AP. All of the packets that the device sends to an AP
will appear to be from the first device that connected to the Ethernet port. If you turn the
device off and back on, it again clones the MAC address of the first packets that it receives
from devices connected to the Ethernet port. You may be able to check the association list on
the AP to determine which MAC address the device is currently using.
To change your device's MAC filter settings, click WIRELESS > SETTINGS > MAC
Filter. The screen appears as shown.
Note: Be careful not to list your computer's MAC address and select Deny the
following MAC address to associate when managing the device via a
wireless connection. This would lock you out.
