Setting up the Wireless Connection...Securing with MAC Filtering

• I also wanted to use MAC filtering so that only computers I allow can connect wirelessly to the hub.
• I went to the Edit MAC filtering section (in Local Network > Wireless Settings) then added the MAC address of the wireless network card and ticked the Enable box.
• 
• You can get this by opening a command prompt and typing ipconfig /all. The address is the wireless card NIC address in the list of stuff that appears. It is in the form xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx but should be entered as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
• 
• I entered it in the 'Add MAC Address' box and click' Add To List'.
• 
• I went back to the Wireless Security page and clicked SAVE (probably unnecessary).
• It may already be in the list as the connected computer name. In this case it's 'bullet'.
• I removed the computer name in the allowed list after I had input the computer's MAC address.
• I didn't need to do this but I wanted to check that I had understood the principle correctly.
• At this point I closed the browser and returned to the Network settings in the PC, right clicking the wireless icon and choosing the 'View all wireless connections' option.
• I selected the BTBusinessHub-XXX from the list and disconnected the link.
• 
• I then chose the BTBusinessHub-XXX connection ( it should have 'security enabled wireless network (WPA2)) and clicked Connect. As before I had to enter the pass phrase.
• This was just to check it was OK with the MAC address.
• That done, I checked again for a connection by opening the browser then opening up the interface using the address http://192.168.1.99.
• It worked.
