2. ZyXEL MAC Filter Implementation
ZyXEL's MAC Filter Implementation allows users to define a list to allow or block association from STAs. The
filter set allows users to input 12 entries in the list. If Allow Association is selected, all other STAs which are
not on the list will be denied. Otherwise, if Deny Association is selected, all other STAs which are not on the
list will be allowed for association. Users can choose either way to configure their filter rule.
3. Configure the WLAN MAC Filter
The MAC Filter related settings in ZyXEL APs are configured in menu 3.5.1, WLAN MAC Address Filter
Configuration. Before you configure the MAC filter, you need to know the MAC address of the client first. If
