Advanced_MAC Address Filter

The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique

MAC addresses of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices

from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the

network adapter.

Enable MAC Address Filter

When this is enabled, computers are granted or denied network access depending on the

mode of the filter.

Misconfiguration of this feature can prevent any machine from accessing the

network. In such a situation, you can regain access by activating the factory

defaults button on the router itself.
