Set Up a Wireless Access List by MAC Address
You can set up a list of computers and wireless devices that are allowed to join the wireless
network. This list is based on the unique MAC address of each computer and device.
Each network device has a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address,
containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and separated by colons (for
example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the wireless
card or network interface device. If you do not have access to the label, you can display the
MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find the
MAC addresses in the Attached Devices screen.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings
.
2.
Click the
Set Up Access List
button.
3.
Click the
Add
button.
The Wireless Card Access Setup screen opens and displays a list of currently active
wireless cards and their Ethernet MAC addresses.
4.
If the computer or device you want is in the Available Wireless Cards list, select that radio
button; otherwise, type a name and the MAC address.
You can usually find the MAC address on the label of the wireless device.
Tip:
You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the Attached Devices
screen into the MAC Address field of this screen. To do this, use each
wireless computer to join the wireless network. The computer should be
listed in the Attached Devices screen.

Set Up the Router in Bridge Mode
You can use your R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router in bridge mode to connect multiple devices
wirelessly at the faster 802.11ac speed. To do this, you need two routers: one set up as a
router and the other set up as a bridge.

Figure 8. Router in bridge mode with an 802.11ac WiFi connection
Installing your router as a bridge offers the following benefits:
•
You can take advantage of gigabit WiFi speeds on current devices.
•
Use Gigabit WiFi for applications like video and gaming.
•
Connect multiple devices like NAS, Smart TV, NeoTV, Blu-ray Player, and game consoles
at gigabit WiFi speeds using a WiFi link.
•
Avoid the need for separate WiFi adapters for each device.
For example, you could install the first router in a room like a home office that has your
Internet connection. Then set up the second router in bridge mode. Then place the router in
Bridge mode in a different room that has your home entertainment center. Cable the router in
Bridge mode to your Smart TV, DVR, game console or Blu-ray player, and use its 802.11ac
WiFi connection to the first router.
To set up Bridge mode:
1.
Make a note of the WiFi settings of the other router to which this router will connect:
You need to know the SSID, WiFi security mode, wireless password, and operating
frequency (either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).
2.
On the router that will run in Bridge mode, select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup >
Wireless Settings
.
