MAC Restrict Mode:
Click Disabled to welcome all of the clients on the network; select Allow to permit only the clients
on the list to access the cable modem; or choose Deny to prevent the clients on the list to access
this device.
MAC Address:
Your Gateway identifies wireless PCs by their WiFi MAC Address. This address consists of a string
of 6 pairs of numbers 0-9 and letters A-F, such as 00 90 4B F0 FF 50. It is usually printed on the
WiFi card of the device (e.g. the PCMCIA card in a laptop). It can also be determined from a
Windows DOS prompt as explained below.
Enter the MAC addresses of the connected clients into the fields, and then click Apply to add
them to the list for access control.

After proper configuration, click Apply to invoke the settings.
