MAC Filtering

 

MAC Filtering is used to deny access to specific devices on the WiFi network. It is recommended to verify the MAC address of your device to confirm the setting. 

 

If the client device has a Private Wi-Fi Address or Random MAC enabled, which changes its MAC address at various times, the device will not follow the Deny rule, and the device will be allowed on the network due to the device using a different MAC address. 

 

To check or change this setting on your device, click here for iOS devices or click here for Android™ devices.
