The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier assigned to each network adapter or Network Interface Card (NIC) of a computer or device. The MAC Filtering feature of your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router will allow or prevent access to the network using this unique identifier. Why do you need it? The MAC Filter feature is a wireless security option that you can use instead of setting up a Wi-Fi password to protect your network. On your Linksys cloud account, you can enable MAC Filters in the MAC Filtering tab of the Wireless tool. NOTE: If you enable this option, the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) feature will be disabled.
Next, add the MAC addresses of devices you want to allow or block. The Wireless Client List is a cool feature in the M20 wireless router and available in many other wireless routers. Click “Wireless Client List” button and a display will pop up based on the devices that are currently connected. In most cases, you should then see Using DHCP in the Configure IPv4 pop-up menu, along with your Mac’s IP address, subnet mask, router, DNS server, and search-domain information. You can ignore.
This article will guide you in configuring the wireless MAC Filter feature of your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router using the Linksys cloud account. Step 1: Access your Linksys cloud account. To learn more, click.
NOTE: If you haven’t set up a Linksys cloud account yet, click to know how to create, activate and associate your account to your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router. Step 2: On the left navigation pane, click the Wireless tool under Router Settings. Step 3: Click the MAC Filtering tab.
Step 4: Check the Enabled box. NOTE: If you want to disable MAC Filtering, you can uncheck the Enabled box instead. A pop-up that says, Enabling MAC filtering will disable WPS. Do you want to continue? Select Yes to proceed. Step 5: Select among the Filter options that you want to set up:. Deny access for the listed MAC addresses – This option is used if you want to create a list of MAC addresses that cannot access your network. Any device whose MAC address is listed will not be permitted to connect to your network.
Allow access for ONLY the listed MAC addresses – This option is used if you want to limit access to your Wi-Fi to certain devices. Only the devices whose MAC addresses are listed will be allowed to connect to your network. All other devices will be denied. NOTE: In the image below, the Deny access for the listed MAC addresses option is selected. Step 6: To specify the MAC address that you want to deny or allow an access to your network, click Add MAC Address in the MAC Filter List section. Step 7: Enter the MAC address of the computer or device that you want to deny or allow an access to your network and then click Save. NOTE: If you want to know how to check your device's MAC address, go to the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Tools navigation menu Device List or Network Map click on your device name.
It will display the details such as its name, manufacturer, model, IP and MAC address. Devices with Offline status will not display these details. NOTE: You can Edit / Delete the MAC address you have entered. QUICK TIP: You can add up to 32 MAC addresses that you want to allow or deny access to your network. All MAC addresses that will be added on the list will have the same access restriction depending on what Filter option you have selected in Step 5. Step 8: Click Apply Ok to save the changes.

Note: MAC address filtering does not provide strong security, since MAC addresses can be spoofed by a determined attacker. Therefore, it is not recommended to rely on this setting alone for security.
Station-to-Station Traffic Specify whether you want to allow wireless stations on this network to communicate with each other, by selecting one of the following:. Allow. Allow stations to communicate with each other. This is the default.
Block traffic between wireless stations. Wireless Transmitter Transmission Rate Select the transmission rate:. Automatic. The UTM-1 appliance automatically selects a rate. This is the default. A specific rate This field only appears when configuring the primary WLAN, and it is inherited by all VAPs and WDS links.
Transmitter Power Select the transmitter power. Setting a higher transmitter power increases the access point's range. A lower power reduces interference with other access points in the vicinity. The default value is Full.
It is not necessary to change this value, unless there are other access points in the vicinity. This field only appears when configuring the primary WLAN, and it is inherited by all VAPs and WDS links. Guard Interval Select the guard interval, which is the amount of time between symbol transmissions (in nanoseconds). The guard interval allows reflections from the previous data transmission to settle before transmitting a new symbol. This can have the following values:. Normal. 800ns.
Short. 400ns Selecting Short can increase throughput. However, in some cases it can also increase error rate, due to increased sensitivity to RF reflections. This field appears only for UTM-1 Edge NW. Antenna Selection Multipath distortion is caused by the reflection of Radio Frequency (RF) signals traveling from the transmitter to the receiver along more than one path. Signals that were reflected by some surface reach the receiver after non-reflected signals and distort them.
UTM-1 appliances avoid the problems of multipath distortion by using an antenna diversity system. To provide antenna diversity, each wireless security appliance has two antennas. Specify which antenna to use for communicating with wireless stations:.
Automatic. The UTM-1 appliance receives signals through both antennas and automatically selects the antenna with the lowest distortion signal to use for communicating. The selection is made on a per-station basis. This is the default.
The ANT 1antenna is always used for communicating. The ANT 2 antenna is always used for communicating. Use manual diversity control ( ANT 1 or ANT 2), if there is only one antenna connected to the appliance. This field only appears when configuring the primary WLAN, and it is inherited by all VAPs and WDS links. This field does not appear for UTM-1 Edge NW.
Fragmentation Threshold Type the smallest IP size (in bytes) that requires that the IP packet be split into smaller fragments. If you are experiencing significant radio interference, set the threshold to a low value (around 1000), to reduce error penalty and increase overall throughput.
Otherwise, set the threshold to a high value (around 2000), to reduce overhead. The default value is 2346. RTS Threshold Type the smallest IP packet size for which a station must send an RTS (Request To Send) before sending the IP packet. If multiple wireless stations are in range of the access point, but not in range of each other, they might send data to the access point simultaneously, thereby causing data collisions and failures. RTS ensures that the channel is clear before the each packet is sent. If your network is congested, and the users are distant from one another, set the RTS threshold to a low value (around 500).
Setting a value equal to the fragmentation threshold effectively disables RTS. The default value is 2346. Extended Range Mode (XR) Specify whether to use Extended Range (XR) mode:. Disabled. XR mode is disabled.
XR mode is enabled. XR will be automatically negotiated with XR-enabled wireless stations and used as needed. This is the default. This field does not appear for UTM-1 Edge NW. Multimedia QoS (WMM) Specify whether to use the Wireless Multimedia (WMM) standard to prioritize traffic from WMM-compliant multimedia applications. This can have the following values:. Disabled.
WMM is disabled. This is the default. WMM is enabled. The UTM-1 appliance will prioritize multimedia traffic according to four access categories (Voice, Video, Best Effort, and Background). This allows for smoother streaming of voice and video when using WMM aware applications. WDS Specify whether to enable WDS links:. Disabled.
WDS links are disabled. WDS links are enabled. For information on configuring WDS links, see. This field appears only for UTM-1 Edge NW.
