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 set to "Allow", access to the wireless is allowed only to the clients that
are listed in the list.
When set to "Deny", access to the wireless is restricted only to the clients that are listed in the list.
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.

Press the Add button to add a new MAC address to the list and Remove to remove selected entry in the list.
Pressing the Add button will give you a page to enter the MAC address.
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 NB9WMAXX does not recognise the address as valid, enter
the values separated by a colon : instead of a hyphen.
