N OTE :
To keep your wireless network protected and secure, you should
implement the highest security possible. For small networks, it is
recommended to select WPA2-PSK using AES encryption as the most
secure option. However, if you have older wireless devices in the network
that do not support AES encryption, select TKIP as the encryption
algorithm.
◆ Access Policy — The Mini Broadband Router provides a MAC address
filtering facility. The access policy can be set to allow or reject specific
station MAC addresses. This feature can be used to connect known
wireless devices that may not be able to support the configured
security mode.
◆ Add a station MAC — Enter the MAC address of the station that you
want to filter. MAC addresses must be entered in the format
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
