To add hardware addresses to a WAP
MAC filtering is a security feature in which a WAP is configured with a list of MAC
addresses (also called "hardware addresses") of devices that are allowed to gain
access to the network through the WAP.
If the WAP does not have the hardware address of a device attempting to access the
network, the WAP denies the device access to the network.
If the WAP filters MAC addresses, then the device's MAC address must be added to
the WAP's list of accepted MAC addresses.
▲ Open the WAP's configuration utility, and add the device's hardware address to the
list of accepted MAC addresses.
