Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address

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.

To restrict access based on MAC addresses:

1. Select Wireless Settings under Advanced in the main menu.

2. In the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, click Setup Access List to display the Wireless

Card Access List.

3. 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.

4. If the computer you want appears in the Available Wireless Cards list, you can select the radio

button of that computer to capture its MAC address; otherwise, you can manually enter a name

and the MAC address of the authorized computer. 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 router’s Attached Devices

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

wireless computer to obtain a wireless link to the router. The computer should

then appear in the Attached Devices screen.
