[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 661606, member: 59833"] RTFM and your friend Bing Google are excellent places to start learning this stuff. Access Control (like MAC Filtering) allows you, as the administrator, to allow access to your network to only those computers you want to allow access. You do this either by the MAC address of the device, or the IP address (if static assigned). If only your devices will ever connect to your network, then may be smart to do. But if you have guests/friends connecting often, this can be a real pain. I just limit the number of devices allowed to connect at any one time and I use a very strong passphrase. [/QUOTE]
