NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless Router WNR834B User Manual 4. If the desired computer appears in the Available Wireless Cards list, you can click the radio button of that computer to capture its MAC address; otherwise, you can manually enter a name and the MAC address of the authorized computer. You can usually find the MAC address on the bottom of the wireless device. Tip: You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the router's Attached Devices menu into the MAC Address box of this menu. To do this, configure each wireless computer to obtain a wireless link to the router. The computer should then appear in the Attached Devices menu. 5. Click Add to add this wireless device to the Wireless Card Access List. The screen changes back to the list screen. 6. Repeat step 3 through step 5 for each additional device you want to add to the list. 7. Select the checkbox to Turn Access Control On.. Note: When configuring the router from a wireless computer whose MAC address is not in the Trusted PC list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the wireless router from a wired computer or from a wireless computer which is on the access control list to make any further changes. 8. Click Apply to save your Wireless Card Access List settings. Now, only devices on this list are allowed to wirelessly connect to the WNR834B. Warning: MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network by the general public. However, because your trusted MAC addresses appear in your wireless transmissions, an intruder can read them and impersonate them. Do not rely on MAC address filtering alone to secure your network.
