Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address

You can set up a list of computers and wireless devices that are allowed to join the wireless
network. This list is based on the unique MAC address of each computer and device.
Each wireless card or network device has a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character
physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and
separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). The MAC address is typically on a
label on the wireless card or device. If you do not have access to the label, you can display
the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also
find the MAC addresses in the Attached Devices screen.
