Wireless MAC Address Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the router to give exclusive access to up to 32
devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the router (Deny
Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address.
The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:AA:BB:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the
devices to configure this screen.
To change your router's MAC filter settings, click Wireless LAN, MAC Filter to open the MAC
Filter screen. The screen appears as shown.
