Set Up a Wireless Access List

By default, any wireless device that is configured with the correct network name (SSID) can
access the extender's WiFi networks. For increased security, you can restrict access to the
extender's WiFi networks so that only wireless devices with the MAC addresses that you add
to an access list can connect.
Each 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, separated by colons (for
example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the wireless
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 on the
Network Devices screen (see
CAUTION:
If you use a wireless device to set up the access list, add your wireless
device to the access list. Otherwise, you are disconnected when you click
the Apply button. To avoid this situation, use a computer with a wired
connection to access the extender.
Before you enable the access list, you must add the MAC addresses of the wireless devices
that you want to grant access to the WiFi network of the extender.
