Wireless Station Status The "Active MAC Table" shows the MAC addresses of
wireless clients, which have the same ESSID and WEP key with Broadband Wireless
Router. When the "MAC Filter" function is disabled, the background color is gray.
Click the "Active MAC Table" button will display all MAC addresses of wireless
nodes on your WLAN.
If the MAC Filter function is enabled and the MAC addresses showing in this table
have been entered into the "Edit MAC Filter" table, the background color of those
MAC addresses will be green. Otherwise, it should be red. If the MAC addresses
have been blocked (check the Filter field beside the MAC address in Edit MAC
Filter table), the background color will be yellow.

addresses of the computers you wish to block in the columns and click the Filter
field beside the MAC address, and then that user will be blocked to link to WLAN
and Internet. If the "Filter" field isn't checked, that MAC address won't be blocked.
