Wireless MAC Address Filter

For security reason, using MAC Wireless MAC Address Filter creates another level of difficulty

to hacking a network. A Wireless MAC Address Filter is created and distributed to AP so that

only authorized NIC's can connect to the network. While MAC address spoofing is a proven

means to hacking a network this can be used in conjunction with additional security measures

to increase the level of complexity of the network security decreasing the chance of a breach.

MAC addresses can be add/delete/edit from the Wireless MAC Address Filter list depending

on the MAC Access Policy.

If you choose 'Allow Association', only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the

access control list will be able to connect to your Access Point. When 'Deny Association' is

selected, these wireless clients on the list will not be able to connect the Access Point.

selected applications. With the default IP 0.0.0.0, any client would be allowed to remotely

access the WLAN ADSL2+ Router.

NAT Setting

Go to

Advanced Setup->NAT

to setup the NAT features. Network Address Translation (NAT)

allows multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single public IP address

or multiple public IP addresses. NAT can also prevent hacker attacks by mapping local

addresses to public addresses for key services such as the Web or FTP.
