Configuring Your Wireless Card Access List
By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the SSID and WEP/WPA settings has access to
your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to
only allow specific PCs based on their MAC addresses.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1.
Connect to the gateway and log in as described in
“Viewing or Changing Wireless Settings” on
page 2-4
.
2.
From the main menu, select Wireless Settings. The Wireless Settings screen displays as shown
in
Figure 2-1 on page 2-4
.
3.
Scroll down to the Wireless Card Access List and select the
Turn Access Control On
check
box.
When you turn on access control, the gateway only accepts connections from clients on the
selected access control list. This provides an additional layer of security.
4.
Click
Apply
to confirm this setting.
Note:
If your computer is connected wirelessly to the wireless voice gateway, be
careful about selecting the
Turn Access Control On
check box. If your
computer’s MAC address is not in the access control list, then you will lose
your wireless connection when you click
Apply
. You must then access the
wireless voice gateway from a wired computer, or from a wireless computer
that is on the access control list, to make any further changes.

.
4.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each wireless PC that you are adding.

connect to the gateway.
To delete an entry from the Access List, select the corresponding radio button in the Access List
and then click
Delete
.

Guest Network
The guest network feature allows you to set up an additional wireless guest network. From the
main menu, under the Setup heading, select Guest Network. The Wireless Guest Network Setting
screen displays:
See the NETGEAR online help for assistance with setting up a wireless guest network.
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
The Voice Gateway includes Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), which is a Quality of Service (QoS)
feature. This feature is enabled, and the Voice Gateway uses it automatically with clients running
applications that support WMM.
WMM QoS provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on
four categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application must be WMM-enabled.
Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not require QoS, are
assigned to the best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.
