3. Select the Turn Access Control On check box.
Note: When configuring the WG302 from a wireless computer whose MAC address is
not in the access control list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you will lose your
wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the wireless access
point from a wired computer or from a wireless computer which is on the access control
list to make any further changes.
