WPNT834 Manual: How to Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address

Log in to the WPNT834 firewall at its default LAN address of http://www.routerlogin.net with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up.


	Note: When configuring the firewall from a wireless computer whose MAC address is not in the Trusted PC list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the wireless router from a wired computer or from a wireless computer which is on the access control list to make any further changes.

Click Wireless Settings in the Advanced section of the main menu of the WPNT834 firewall.

From the Wireless Settings menu, click Setup Access List to display the Wireless Access menu shown below.

In the Available Wireless Cards list, either select from the list of available wireless cards the WPNT834 has found in your area, or enter the MAC address and device name for a device you plan to use. You can usually find the MAC address printed on the wireless adapter.


	Note: You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the firewall's Attached Devices menu into the MAC Address box of this menu. To do this, configure each wireless computer to obtain a wireless link to the firewall. The computer should then appear in the Attached Devices menu.

Click Add to add this wireless device to the Wireless Card Access List. The screen changes back to the list screen.

Repeat step 5 to step 7 for each additional device you wish to add to the list.

Be sure to click Apply to save your Wireless Card Access List settings.

Now, only devices on this list are allowed to wirelessly connect to the WPNT834.
