When I display WIFI devices, I see some MAC addresses that I do not recognize as devices that should be attached to the router. Is there a way to block them or force them to disconnect?

To block or disconnect unrecognized MAC addresses from your Nokia Beacon 6 router, follow these steps:
1. Enable MAC filtering for the WiFi SSID. 2. Choose or enter the MAC address you want to block. 3. Click Save. 4. To remove a MAC address, select it and click the Delete column. 5. To update the list, click Refresh.
This allows you to control which devices can connect to your network by managing allowed MAC addresses.

@Mr. Anderson I went to Security, enable MAC filtering and added a MAC address, but it still shows up in the device list as connected even after I click the refresh icon.

I have an HP printer connected to this Nokia router via WIFI. I cannot figure out any way to allow my wifi connected MAC Book to access the printer. It seems that the only interconnection is between the devices and the Internet WAN port. There is no device-to-device connection. Is there a way to allow WIFI devices to access each other through the router? Also, I do not want to allow the printer to be connected to the Internet for security reasons.

To enable device-to-device communication between a MacBook and an HP printer connected to a Nokia Beacon 6 router without allowing the printer Internet access, follow these steps:
1. Connect both devices to the same WiFi SSID or LAN network on the Nokia Beacon 6.
2. Disable Internet access for the printer: - Access the router’s web interface. - Use MAC filtering: Go to *Security > MAC Filter*. - Select *MAC Filter Mode: Blocked*. - Choose the printer’s MAC address and apply the filter for Internet access (WiFi SSID or LAN port, depending on connection type). - Ensure the filter only blocks Internet, not local network communication.
3. Ensure local communication is allowed: - Do not enable isolation features like "AP Isolation" or "Client Isolation" on the SSID, as they prevent device-to-device communication.
This setup allows the MacBook to print via the local network while the printer remains blocked from accessing the Internet.
