Restrict Connectivity by MAC Address

You can increase your network security by allowing only computers you specify based on
their MAC address to connect to the router. This prevents unauthorized connections, but
does not prevent data sent over the Wi-Fi connection from being viewed.
Note: If you configure the router through a wireless connection, add your
computer's MAC address to the Wi-Fi Card Access List. Otherwise,
you lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. Connect to
the router from a wired computer, or from a connection that is on the
Wi-Fi Card Access List, to make any further changes.
