NOTE: After you configure the settings on the MAC Authentication page, you must
click Update to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some
access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes.
If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low.
