Setting MAC Address Filtering

NOTE: This feature may not exist in your current WAP firmware. Please check belkin.com for the latest firmware updates that will support his feature.

The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client (computer) on your network to allow network access to each. The “Block” feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer without having to add and remove the computer’s MAC address from the list.

To enable this feature, select “Enable MAC Address Filtering” (1). Next, enter the MAC address of each computer on your network by clicking in the space provided

(2)and entering the MAC address of the computer you want to add to the list. Click “Add” (3), then “Apply Changes” to save the settings. To delete a MAC address from the list, simply click “Delete” next to the MAC address you wish to delete. Click “Apply Changes” to save the settings.

NOTE: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are using to access the WAP's administrative functions (the computer you are using now).
