MAC Filter Tab

MAC (Media Access Control) filtering can prevent unauthorized wireless devices from

connecting to your network.

The MAC filter is used to grant (“white list”) or block (“black list”) wireless devices access to the

Wi-Fi and mobile broadband (3G, LTE) networks. Access is based on the MAC address of each

wireless device.

MAC filtering increases security of your network. You can give access to your network, based

on the MAC address of the wireless devices. This makes it harder for a hacker to use a MAC

address to access your network.
