Allowing or Denying Computers Access to the Network
The MAC (Media Access Control) filter is used to grant ("whitelist") or block ("blacklist") wireless
devices access to the Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G networks. Access is based on the MAC address of each
wireless device.
MAC filtering can prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network.
You can choose one of three modes:
● Allow all in list
— Only computers that are in this list are allowed to access the network.
● Block all in list
— All computers are allowed to access the network, unless they're in this list.
● No filtering
— All computers are allowed to access the network.
In any case, a computer still needs to provide the correct Wi-Fi password to access the network.
