WRE2205 User’s Guide

The MAC Address List screen allows you to specify which devices are allowed to access the 
WRE2205, while denying access to all unspecified devices. Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC 
(Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six 
pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC 
address of the devices to configure this screen.

To change your WRE2205’s MAC Address List settings, click Network > Wireless LAN > MAC 
Address List. The screen appears as shown.
