ZyXEL MAC Filter Implementation
ZyXEL's MAC Filter Implementation allows users to define a list to allow or
block association from STAs. The filter set allows users to input 12 entries in
the list. If Allow Association is selected, all other STAs which are not on the list
will be denied. Otherwise, if Deny Association is selected, all other STAs which
are not on the list will be allowed for association. Users can choose either way
to configure their filter rule.

"ipconfig /all" after DOS prompt to get the MAC (physical) address of your
wireless client.

->MAC Filter, active MAC Filter.
Step 2: Enter the MAC Addresses of wireless cards in the filter set to allow or
deny association from these cards.
