Manage access to the WiFi network through
a WiFi access list
By default, all WiFi devices are allowed to connect to the WiFi network. If you enable
access control, only devices that you add to the WiFi access control list (ACL) are allowed
access to the WiFi network and all other WiFi devices are blocked. An ACL functions
with the MAC addresses of WiFi devices.
The AP can detect the MAC addresses of devices that are connected to the WiFi network
and list the MAC addresses of devices.
Each network device owns a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical
address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F (uppercase or lowercase)
only, and separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). The MAC address
might be on the label of the WiFi device, you might find it in the system information of
the device, or you might be able to display it by using the network configuration utility
of the device.
To add WiFi devices to the access control list and enable access control:
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP in one of the following ways:
• Connect directly to the AP's WiFi network or LAN.
• Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to.
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://www.aplogin.net (or aplogin.net) in the
address field.
Instead, if you are connected to same network as the AP, enter the LAN IP address
that is assigned to the AP. For information about finding the IP address, see Find the
IP address of the AP when you cannot use aplogin.net on page 24.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The Home page displays.
4. Select Advanced Setup > Advanced Wireless Settings.
The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
