How to set up MAC Filter of Powerline ac Extender (new logo)?
10219 This function exploits the uniqueness of the MAC (Medium Access Control) address, a unique 12-digit hexadecimal address (for example, D8-5D-4C-B4-46-EA) of every network device, to determine if the device can or cannot access your wireless network.
I want to prevent unauthorized users from accessing my wireless network by utilizing the network device’s MAC address.
For example, I have a computer that is connected to my wireless network. Now, an unknown device (an intruder) is also using my wireless network, which affects my internet speed. I would like to control my wireless network with the following capabilities:
1) My computer is always allowed to access the wireless network.
2) The unknown device is not allowed to access the wireless network.
3) I don’t have to keep changing my wireless password as often.
How can I do that?
Here takes TL-WPA9610 as demonstration:
1. To log into the web-based management interface, please refer to How to log into the web-based management interface of Powerline ac Extender (new logo)?
