Soft AP (Windows XP/Vista)
Soft AP mode allows you to configure Access Control settings.
Access Control
The AP provides facilities to limit the wireless clients that associate with it and
the data packets that can forward through it. Filters provide network security or
improve performance by eliminating broadcast/multicast packets from the radio
network.
The Access Control List (ACL) contains MAC addresses for wireless
clients allowed to associate with the AP. This provides security by
preventing unauthorized access. The AP also uses a disallowed address
list of destinations. This feature prevents the AP from communicating with
specified destinations. This can include network devices that do not require
communication with the AP or its wireless clients.
Enter a MAC Address on the Access Control
page and select “Accept” or “Reject” or “Dis-
able” from the pull-down menu.
Clicking Apply after configuring Soft AP will
show the “Access Control” tab.
