To enable MAC address filtering, you need to you know your router’s admin login, as this enables you to log in to the WiFi router console. Once logged in as an admin, you can configure your MAC address whitelists and blacklists.

To locate your router’s username and password, check the back of your router. It should be listed there. If, however, you don’t have easy access to your router or the credentials aren’t listed there, check the master list of router logins to find your system’s username and password. You can reset you’re router password if necessary.

Once you’re logged in, you will likely see connected devices in the admin console. Most modern routers display the physical address of devices there. Then, you can go into the router’s settings and enter the MAC addresses where they belong. Though each router will have a slightly different procedure for entering and finalizing MAC address filters, this is the general process that you’ll follow.

• To configure filtering on a Linksys router once you’ve reached the router’s settings, go to Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter.
• To configure filtering on a Netgear router once you’ve reached the router’s settings, go to Advanced > Security > Access Control.
• If you have a D-Link router, navigate to Advanced > Network Filter.

Again, the process for disabling media access control address filtering will vary by router or system. However, the general process for disabling MAC address filtering is as follows:

1. Sign into your router’s administrator page using your router’s username and password
2. Check the MAC filter settings and select Allow as the default mode
3. Select all devices from the list of exceptions, which is the whitelist
4. Delete the list.

Once you disable MAC filtering, your router will no longer sort traffic based on permitted and denied addresses.
