identified by the Restricted Wireless MAC Addresses.
• Selecting Deny allows access by all clients except those
identified by the Restricted Wireless MAC Addresses.
• Selecting Disabled suppresses MAC address restrictions.
NOTE: While MAC address restrictions can provide a level of
security for your wireless network, since MAC addresses can
be "spoofed" by hackers, enabling wireless security methods
on the SECURITY Page is still recommended.
