3DHD Home Theater Adapter WNHD3004 User Manual Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices after WPS Setup You can add WPS-enabled and non-WPS-enabled client devices. Adding Additional WPS-Enabled Clients To add an additional wireless client device that is WPS enabled, follow the procedures in "WPS Push Button Client Setup" on page 2-3 . Adding Additional Non-WPS-Enabled Clients If you are connecting a combination of WPS-enabled clients and clients that are not WPS enabled, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add clients that are not WPS enabled. You need to record and then manually enter your security settings. To connect non-WPS-enabled and WPS-enabled clients to the home theater adapter, find the default security key on the Access Point web GUI, and configure the client for WPA2 using this key. Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address When a Wireless Card Access List is configured and enabled, the router checks the MAC address of any wireless device attempting a connection and allows only connections to computers identified on the trusted computers list. The Wireless Card Access List displays a list of wireless computers that you allow to connect to the router based on their MAC addresses. These wireless computers must also have the correct SSID and wireless security settings to access the wireless router. The MAC address is a network device's unique 12-character physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0-9, a-f, or A-F only, and separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). It can usually be found on the bottom of the wireless card or network interface device. If you do not have access to the physical label, you can display the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. In Windows XP, for example, typing the ipconfig/all command in an MSDOS command prompt window displays the MAC address as Physical Address. Note: The MAC Address Filter function is only available on the Access Point side. By default, it is disabled. If enabled, it lets you filter out wireless clients for tightened security. 4-10 v1.0, November 2010 Wireless Security

Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices after WPS Setup
You can add WPS-enabled and non-WPS-enabled client devices.
Adding Additional WPS-Enabled Clients
To add an additional wireless client device that is WPS enabled, follow the procedures in
“WPS
Push Button Client Setup” on page 2-3
.
Adding Additional Non-WPS-Enabled Clients
If you are connecting a combination of WPS-enabled clients and clients that are not WPS enabled,
you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add clients that are not WPS enabled. You need to
record and then manually enter your security settings.
To connect non-WPS-enabled and WPS-enabled clients to the home theater adapter, find the
default security key on the Access Point web GUI, and configure the client for WPA2 using this
key.
Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address
When a Wireless Card Access List is configured and enabled, the router checks the MAC address
of any wireless device attempting a connection and allows only connections to computers
identified on the trusted computers list.
The Wireless Card Access List displays a list of wireless computers that you allow to connect to
the router based on their MAC addresses. These wireless computers must also have the correct
SSID and wireless security settings to access the wireless router.
The MAC address is a network device’s unique 12-character physical address, containing the
hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and separated by colons (for example,
00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). It can usually be found on the bottom of the wireless card or network
interface device. If you do not have access to the physical label, you can display the MAC address
using the network configuration utilities of the computer. In Windows XP, for example, typing the
ipconfig/all
command in an MSDOS command prompt window displays the MAC address as
Physical Address.
Note:
The MAC Address Filter function is only available on the Access Point side. By
default, it is disabled. If enabled, it lets you filter out wireless clients for tightened
security.
