MAC Filtering

You can specify those clients that will be allowed access to your network using
MAC Filtering. MAC Filtering is not required for wireless security, but it is
recommended that you use it in addition to encryption for your data protection.
To enable MAC Address filtering and make the necessary settings for blocking
clients:
1. Click on "MAC Filtering" under the "WIRELESS" menu of the Web interface of
your router.
2. In the window that appears, check the "Enable MAC Filtering" box.
3. Select "Just Deny MAC Addresses in MAC List".
4. For each device to be denied access, enter the wireless MAC address of the
device in the "New MAC Address" field or select from "Existing LAN Clients"
and then click the "ADD" button.
5. When you are done entering the MAC addresses, click "Save".
6. To add the devices that will be allowed access to the wireless network, select
"Just Allow MAC Addresses in MAC List" instead of "Just Deny MAC Addres-
ses in MAC List" and enter the MAC addresses.

AirTies Mesh AirTies Mesh Technology® resolves the signal loss and limited coverage area
problems often encountered in multi-story concrete buildings. To extend wireless
settings
coverage area, one or more AirTies wireless access point devices functioning in
repeater mode are connected to your device to set up a "Mesh Network". The
wireless access points communicate with each other via the Mesh protocol and
boost the signal wherever signal strength is low thus increasing wireless range.
Computers connect to the access point with the strongest signal and get to the
router over the Mesh Network. Thus, the weak signal or dead spots due to barriers
such as concrete walls are eliminated and the coverage area can be expanded to
the maximum.
