Once a week I write to explain to a customer how to Disable Wireless MAC Filtering when they have locked out critical or all devices and VM Connect either can't connect to the Hub or fails to display the list of blocked devices.

MAC filtering is for blocking external intrusion, it can be used, but you're saying dont use MAC filtering because someone in the house can learn to Spoof. Yes, not useful, but yes.

I don't suppose you have a degree in a computer related feild then?
Imagine saying dont bother MAC filtering for everyone on the internet, because you dont like phone calls. Disgusting mate, absolutely abhorrent attitude.
