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.
