How to configure the Mac address filtering - DWL-6700AP

This document will indicate how to perform a MAC filter that can be applied to a particular SSID

Step 1 - To make a Mac filter that will affect a SSID of AP, go to “MAC Authentication

Manage > MAC Authentication

Here you can perform filtering generating a list that will only allow MACs entered into this list and checking the "Allow only stations in list" option, or block all MACs that are in this list checking "Block all stations in list"

In our example we will use the "Allow only stations in list" option
