Access Point (not router) with mac filtering, does one exist?
I just want to add wifi to my network but I don't want it to be open to any
computer so I need mac filtering. Is there an access point that can do this? Robert Blackwell |

Re: Access Point (not router) with mac filtering, does one exist?
Hi,
Most access points offer MAC filtering. I am using a Linksys WAP54G (AP only) which has MAC filtering and I have just installed MAC filtering on a Belkin AP of a friend. Advice: download the AP's user manual from the web and check the feature list before running to your local store. /rob "Robert Blackwell" <> wrote in message news:%... > I just want to add wifi to my network but I don't want it to be open to any > computer so I need mac filtering.

Well, I used to have an mn-500 that was not configurable when it was in ap
mode, so that's why I'm asking. Robert Blackwell |

Re: Access Point (not router) with mac filtering, does one exist?
The Buffalo WBR-G54 does that. I used mine as an access point only before I got my broadband cable
ISP. You can also configure the Buffalo to assign specific IP addresses to DHCP clients based on the client MAC Address, ie. a pseudo static IP address... -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
