16 Section 2C. WiFi Menu

MAC Filter

MAC filtering allows you to limit access to your device

to only those devices with a specified MAC address (a

unique code assigned to hardware such as network

adapters).

The MAC Filter Screen

The MAC Filter screen allows you enable or disable

MAC filtering and to add or delete MAC addresses

from the trusted client list.

Finding the MAC Address

The MAC Address is also known as a hardware or

physical address for a device, usually a network

adapter. It consists of six pairs of numbers and letters

(for example, 00-21-9B-1C-64-34).

You can view the MAC address for any device

connected to the MiFi device in the WiFi Clients

section of the WiFi Status screen. (See “WiFi Clients”

on page 26.)

䢇 On a Windows machine, you can find the MAC

address by running “ipconfig /all” from the cmd

window. The MAC address is referred to as the

Physical Address. (Select

Start > All Programs (or

Programs) > Accessories > Command Prompt to open

the cmd window.)

䢇 On a Mac, open System Preferences > Network. In the

Show list, click

Airport. The MAC address is the

Airport ID.

Important

Do not enable MAC filtering unless you have

added your own MAC address to the trusted

client list. Otherwise you will be unable to

access the device.
