wireless devices. Every piece of hardware on a network has a MAC address. Because each
MAC address is unique, it is suitable to use a MAC address for filtering purposes.
The MAC Filtering tab allows the capability to explicitly allow or deny a client device access to
your computer through SoftAP wireless connection. This is a security feature used to ensure that
your network remains inaccessible to unknown or unwanted devices.
