NETGEAR N300 Wireless Router JWNR2000v2 User Manual
Wireless Card Access List. For information about this list, see Restrict Wireless Access
by MAC Address on page 73.
WPS Settings
These options are available if the settings in the Wireless Settings screen are compatible with
WPS.
Router’s PIN. The PIN is displayed so that you can use it to configure the router through
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). It is also displayed on the router’s label.
Disable Router’s PIN. If the router’s PIN is disabled, you cannot configure the router’s
wireless settings with WPS. However, if your settings are already configured, you can still
add WPS-enabled wireless clients. The router might disable the PIN if it detects
suspicious attempts to break into your wireless settings; this can happen if the check box
is selected. You can enable the PIN by clearing the check box and clicking Apply.
Keep Existing Wireless Settings. This check box is automatically selected after WPS is
enabled to prevent unwanted settings changes, and is also selected if you have already
specified wireless security settings or your SSID without using WPS. When this check
box is not selected, adding a new wireless client using the push button or the Add WPS
Client screen (see Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method on page 32) changes the
router’s SSID and security passphrase. You might need to clear it if you are using certain
registrars, such as for a Windows Vista PC, to configure the router through WPS.
Wireless Card Access List
You can use this feature to restrict access by MAC address as described in the following
section.
Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address
MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network by the
general public. However, because your trusted MAC addresses appear in your wireless
transmissions, an intruder can read them and impersonate them. Do not rely on MAC
address filtering alone to secure your network.
When a wireless card access list is configured and enabled, the router checks the MAC
address of any wireless device attempting a connection and allows only connections to
computers identified on the trusted computers list.
The Wireless Card Access List displays a list of wireless computers that you allow to connect
to the router based on their MAC addresses. These wireless computers must also have the
correct SSID and wireless security settings to access the wireless router.
The MAC address is a network device’s 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). It can usually be found on the bottom of the wireless card or network
interface device. If you do not have access to the physical label, you can display the MAC
address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. In WindowsXP, for example,
typing the
ipconfig/all command in an MSDOS command prompt window displays the
MAC address as Physical Address. You might also find the MAC addresses in the router’s
Attached Devices screen.
