3.8  Configuring the MAC Address Filter
Thomas noticed that his daughter Josephine spends too much time surfing the web and 
downloading media files. He decided to prevent Josephine from accessing the Internet so that she 
can concentrate on preparing for her final exams.
Josephine’s computer connects wirelessly to the Internet through the Device. Thomas decides to 
use the Security > MAC Filter screen to grant wireless network access to his computer but not to 
Josephine’s computer.

However, Josephine and others not listed in this screen will no longer be able to access the Internet 
through the Device.
