5 Wireless Security
5.2 Access Control
What is access control?
Every network device carries a unique hexadecimal code (MAC address). Access control enables you to
allow/deny access to wireless clients based on their MAC address.
Drawbacks
MAC authentication is linked to the user’s hardware and not to his identity.
You can easily change the MAC address of your wireless clients.
How can I configure this on the Thomson Gateway?
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the Thomson Gateway Web Interface.
2 On the left menu, click Home Network.
3 Under Wireless, click your access point.
4 The Wireless Access Point page appears.
5 In the Navigation Bar, click Configure.
6 Under Security, you can set the Allow New Devices property to:
New stations are allowed (automatically).

7 Select the option of your choice and click Apply.

Access control is disabled. All wireless client can connect if they use the correct SSID and encryption.
New stations are allowed (via registration)
