Other Features

Association control

Association control works much like connection control. It lets you allow or deny connection to wireless computers trying to access the Router. Enable Access control by placing a checkmark in the box. Once you have entered a MAC address into the Control Table, putting a checkmark in the box under “A” will grant that wireless computer full access to the network. Leaving the box unchecked will let the computer access the network to communicate with other wireless computers, but that computer will not have Internet access or be able to communicate with wired computers on the network. The “allow/deny” box lets you determine if computers with MAC addresses NOT in the control table are allowed access to the network and all of the resources such as Internet. Selecting “deny” will not let a computer connect unless the MAC address is in the control table.

Association control has no effect on wired clients.
