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

access point. 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.
