Set Up a WiFi Access List and Manage WiFi Access
By default, any WiFi device that is configured with the correct SSID is allowed access to your
WiFi network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the WiFi network to allow
only specific WiFi devices based on their MAC addresses.
Set Up and Enable a WiFi Access List
A WiFi access control list (ACL) consists of MAC addresses of WiFi devices that are blocked
from accessing your WiFi network.
Each network device owns a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address,
containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F (uppercase or lowercase) only, and
separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the
label of the WiFi card or network interface device. If you cannot see the label, you can display
the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also
find the MAC addresses through the web management interface of the modem router (see
View Devices Currently on the Network
on page
169).
