Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address

You can set up a list of computers and wireless devices that are allowed to join the wireless

network. This list is based on the unique MAC address of each computer and device.

Each network device has a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address,

containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and separated by colons (for

example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the wireless

card or network interface device. If you do not have access to the label, you can display the

MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find

the MAC addresses in the Attached Devices screen.

 To restrict access based on MAC addresses:

1. On the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, click the Setup Access List to display the

Wireless Card Access List.

2. Click Add to add a wireless device to the wireless access control list.

The Wireless Card Access Setup screen opens and displays a list of currently active

wireless cards and their Ethernet MAC addresses.

3. If the computer or device you want is in the Available Wireless Cards list, select that radio

button; otherwise, type a name and the MAC address. You can usually find the MAC

address on the bottom of the wireless device.

Tip: You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the Attached

Devices screen into the MAC Address field of this screen. To do this,

use each wireless computer to join the wireless network. The

computer should then appear in the Attached Devices screen.

4. Click Add to add this wireless device to the Wireless Card Access List. The screen changes

back to the list screen.

5. Add each computer or device you want to allow to connect wirelessly.

6. Select the Turn Access Control On check box.

7. Click Apply.
