Isolate clients of a user WiFi network and set
exceptions
By default, client isolation is disabled for a user WiFi network, allowing communication
between the WiFi clients that are associated with the same user WiFi network. For
additional security, you can enable client isolation so that clients that are associated
with the same user WiFi network cannot communicate with each other and you can set
exceptions for up to three clients, based on the MAC addresses of the clients.
A WiFi client for which you set an exception can still communicate with another WiFi
client on the same user WiFi network, provided that you also set an exception for that
WiFi client.
If you enable client isolation, even WiFi clients for which you do not set exceptions can
still communicate with each other over the Internet.
To isolate clients of a user WiFi network and set exceptions for clients:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or tablet that is directly connected over WiFi
to the AP or connected to the same network as the AP.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AP.
