Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address

The Access Control screen lets you block or allow network access privileges of specified stations through the NETGEAR WG602v4 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point. This provides an additional layer of security. (This feature not available when in Client Mode.).

Note: When configuring the WG602v4 from a wireless PC whose MAC address is not in the access control list, if you select Turn Access Control On, your wireless connection will be lost when you click Apply. You must then access the wireless access point from a wired PC or from a wireless PC which is on the access control list to make any further changes.
