2.4G WLAN Access Rules

Without WLAN MAC access restriction, any WLAN client can join (authenticate with)

a Wi-Fi network if they know the network name (also called the SSID) and perhaps a

few other security parameters like encryption keys.

When WLAN MAC access is enabled, however, the access point or router performs

an additional check on a different parameter. Obviously the more checks that are

made, the greater the likelihood of preventing network break-ins.

To set up WLAN MAC access rules, you as a WLAN administrator must configure a

list of clients that will be allowed to join the network.
