Warning: This window includes settings that could negatively impact the performance of the CLEAR
Spot, if set incorrectly. These settings should be modified only by advanced users or if directed by
CLEAR Customer Care.
The MAC (Media Access Control) filter is used to grant devices access to your CLEAR Spot wi-fi
network. MAC filtering increases the security of your CLEAR Spot wi-fi network and can prevent
unauthorized devices from connecting to it. Access is based on the MAC address of each device.
Choose from:
 No filtering: All devices are allowed to access the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network. In most cases, this
setting is used, since you can prevent devices from accessing your CLEAR Spot wi-fi network by
setting wi-fi security and not sharing the wi-fi password with people you don’t desire to use your
CLEAR Spot wi-fi network.
 Allow all in list: Only devices that are in the list are allowed to access the CLEAR Spot wi-fi
network.
 Block all in list: All devices are allowed to access the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network, unless they’re
in the list.
If you have enabled the wi-fi password setting, devices will still need to provide the wi-fi password to
access the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network.
When you’re ready to set your MAC filtering settings, click “Save”.
If you don’t desire to make any changes, click “Cancel” and you’ll see the CLEAR Spot Home Page.
Note: The Advanced Settings Tab appears on every window of the CLEAR Spot Home Page.
 List of connected devices: Opens a window that shows devices that are connected to the Clear
Spot. Click “Add” if you desire to add a device, and enter the MAC Address and Name, for
example “Dad’s computer.”
