Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 User Manual
Wireless Station Access Control
By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the correct SSID and wireless security
settings is allowed access to your wireless network. You can use wireless access point
settings in the Wireless Setting screen to further restrict wireless access to your network:
• Turning off wireless connectivity completely.
You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the router. For example, if you use
your notebook computer to wirelessly connect to your router, and you take a business
trip, you can turn off the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other
members of your household who use computers connected to the router via Ethernet
cables can still use the router. To do this, clear the Enable Wireless Router Radio check
box on the Wireless Settings screen, and then click Apply.
• Hiding your wireless network name (SSID).
By default, the router is set to broadcast its wireless network name (SSID). You can
restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name
(SSID). To do this, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box on the Wireless Settings
screen, and then click Apply. Wireless devices will not “see” your router. You must
configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name (SSID) of the router.
Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID
you configure in the router. If they do not match, you will not get a
wireless connection to the router.
Restricting Access by MAC Address
For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to allow only specific
PCs based on their MAC addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so that
unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router. MAC
address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data
broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.
Note: If you configure the router from a wireless computer, add your
computer’s MAC address to the access list. Otherwise you will lose
your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then
access the router from a wired computer, or from a wireless
computer that is on the access control list, to make any further
changes.
