I want to: How can I do that? Prevent unauthorized users from accessing my wireless network by utilizing the network device's MAC address and IP address. For example, I have a computer that is connected to my wireless network. Now, an unknown device (an intruder) is also using my wireless network, which affects my Internet speed. I would like to control my wireless network with the following capabilities: • My computer is always allowed to access the wireless network. • The unknown device is not allowed to access the wireless network. • I don't have to keep changing my wireless password as often. 1.
