Adding Additional Non-WPS-Enabled Clients
If you are connecting a combination of WPS-enabled clients and clients that are not WPS
enabled, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add clients that are not WPS enabled.
To connect both non-WPS-enabled and WPS-enabled clients to the WNR1000v3h2 router:
1. Configure the settings of the WNR1000v3h2 router (shown in the Wireless Settings
screen) for WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security, and record that information. See
Configuring WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK Wireless Security
When you change security settings, all existing connected wireless clients that do not
share those settings are disassociated and disconnected from the router.
2. For the non-WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, open the networking utility, and
follow the utility's instructions to enter security settings.
3. For the WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, follow the procedures in

Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address

When a Wireless Card Access List is configured and enabled, the router checks the MAC
address of any wireless device attempting a connection and allows only connections to
computers identified on the trusted computers list.
The Wireless Card Access List displays a list of wireless computers that you allow to connect
to the router based on their MAC addresses. These wireless computers must also have the
correct SSID and wireless security settings to access the wireless router.
The MAC address is a network device's unique 12-character physical address, containing
the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and separated by colons (for example,
00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). It can usually be found on the bottom of the wireless card or network
interface device. If you do not have access to the physical label, you can display the MAC
address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. In WindowsXP, for example,
typing the
ipconfig/all
MAC address as Physical Address. You might also find the MAC addresses in the router's
Attached Devices screen.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
