Recently I have purchase another MT device which version is 7.8 (stable).
I use this like this:
My ADSL modem → a LAN cable from modem goes into MT device → The MT device creates a wireless AP.
All of devices in the house connect to MT.
I’m going to restrict some specific mac addresses to connect to this MT AP.
I tried to do like MT 6 but it doesn’t have any authenticate or such things to enable.
I also tried to do Wireless → Access List, like MT6, but it doesn’t work and still all devices are able to connect (to test this, I only add my laptop’s mac address).
Do you please help me how can I limit and restrict some mac addresses as a white list to allow to connect?
if you want to let only “known devices” connect (via known MAC) and that MAC is in your access list you might have to disable “default authenticate” for your wifi interface.
First , Upgrade the device to 7.12 and then to 7.15. works much better than 7.8
To solve your problem
1.) Create in Wifi Access list entries for each and every devices you want allow access (you can use also interface lists)
2.) at the end of the Access List, create one entry that rejects access to all Mac adresses
The Access list is parsed from top to bottom, so devices found get access, devices not found will get bumped off by the last rule.
It is same principle as Mikrotik firewall…
MACs obviously generic/fake (apply your MAC addresses which you’d like to be allowed to connect and the last rule is a “reject” rule to deny any unknown clients
you also got a lot more options to fine-tune stuff but in general the above should suffice
for the detailed options 2 might come in handy
a mask where you could allow/deny a certain vendor (OUI database lookup for details)
more detailed interface information (if you have multiple SSIDs specify desired SSID interface here)
