6.3 MAC Filter
This MAC Filter page allows access to be restricted/allowed based on a MAC
address. All NICs have a unique 48-bit MAC address burned into the ROM chip on
the card. When MAC address filtering is enabled, you are restricting the NICs
that are allowed to connect to your access point. Therefore, an access point will
grant access to any computer that is using a NIC whose MAC address is on its
“allows” list.
Wi-Fi device’s and access points that support MAC filtering let you specify a list of
MAC addresses that may connect to the access point, and thus dictate what
devices are authorized to access the wireless network. When a device is using
MAC filtering, any address not explicitly defined will be denied access.
