Restricting Access by MAC Address

By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the correct SSID will be allowed access to your
wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to only
allow specific PCs based on their MAC addresses.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin, and default password of password, or using whatever user name,
password, and LAN address you have chosen for the modem router.
Note: If you configure the router from a wireless computer, add your computer's
MAC address to the access list. Otherwise you will lose your wireless
connection when you click Apply. You must then access the modem router
from a wired computer, or from a wireless computer that is on the access
control list, to make any further changes.
2. From the main menu, under the Advanced heading, select Wireless Settings, and then click
Setup Access List to display the Wireless Card Access List screen.
Figure 3-1
The Wireless Station Access List screen displays a list of wireless PC's that are allowed to
connect to the modem router based on their MAC addresses. These wireless PCs must also
have the correct SSID and wireless security settings to access the wireless network.
