4. If the wireless station is currently connected to the network, you can select it from the
Available Wireless Stations list. Click Add to add the station to the Trusted Wireless Stations
list.
5. If the wireless station is not currently connected, you can enter its address manually. Enter the
MAC address of the authorized computer. The MAC address is usually printed on the wireless
card, or it might appear in the modem router's DHCP table. The MAC address is
12 hexadecimal digits.
Click Add to add your entry. You can add several stations to the list. When you are finished
adding stations, click Apply.
Note: You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the modem router's Attached
Devices screen into the MAC Address field of this screen. To do this, configure
each wireless computer to obtain a wireless link to the modem router. The
computer should then appear in the Attached Devices screen.
Note: If you are configuring the modem router from a wireless computer whose
MAC address is not in the Trusted Wireless Stations list, and you select trusted
wireless stations only, you will lose your wireless connection when you click
Apply. You must then access the modem router from a wired computer to
make any further changes.
6. Make sure the Turn Access Control On check box is selected, and then click Apply.
Now, only devices on this list will be allowed to wirelessly connect to the modem router. This
prevents unauthorized access to your network.

Configuring Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK Security

A high-performance client such as the NETGEAR WN511B must connect to the modem router
using WPA2-PSK to achieve maximum performance. Wireless clients that connect to the modem
router using WPA-PSK run at no more than 802.11g speed. This option allows wireless clients to
use either encryption method.
