Tip: You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the router’s Attached Devices
screen into the MAC Address field of this screen. To do this, configure each
wireless computer to obtain a wireless link to the router. The computer should
then appear in the Attached Devices screen.

not in the Trusted PC list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you lose
your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the
wireless router from a wired computer or from a wireless computer that is on
the access control list to make any further changes.
