Wireless > Mac Filter
The Wireless > MAC Filter page displays the following:
This function allows wireless access to be restricted or allowed based on the MAC address of the
client device. When MAC address filtering is enabled, access is restricted to the clients that are
listed as allowing to connect to the NB8W.
Note: PROCEED CAREFULLY with this feature because if you deny or exclude
your own MAC address you will lose contact with the device and need to
re-set the device and restore your details.
MAC filtering is enabled for a list of specific MAC addresses and can be set to Deny or Allow.

How to find your MAC address
Go to Start>Run. Enter CMD and press enter. At the command prompt, type IPCONFIG/ALL.
The MAC address is referred to as a 'physical address' by Windows. It is always in the format of
six groups of two characters separated by a hyphen. If the NB8W does not recognise the address as
valid, enter the values separated by a colon : instead of a hyphen.
