Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address

For increased security, you can restrict access to an SSID by allowing access to only specific computers or wireless stations based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted computers so that unknown computers cannot wirelessly connect to the wireless VPN firewall. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.

Note: For wireless adapters, you can usually find the MAC address printed on the wireless adapter.
