Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address

By default, all wireless PCs that are configured with the correct SSID are allowed access to your
wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to your wireless network to only
those trusted wireless PCs based on their MAC address.
The Access Control List screen lets you block the network access privilege of any specified
stations to only those displayed in the Trusted Wireless Stations table. When you enable the Turn
Access Control On radio box, the access point will only accept connections from those clients on
the Trusted Wireless Stations access control list. This provides an additional layer of security.
Note: If configuring the WN802T from a wireless computer whose MAC address is not
in the Trusted Wireless Stations access control list, when you select Turn Access
Control On, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You
must then access the wireless access point from a wired computer or from a
wireless computer which is on the access control list to make any further changes.
