I have set up wifi mac filtering in advanced - wireless -security which lists computers, tablets, printers, v6, now box etc.
I presume it gives some added protection restricting allowed connected devices.
Also, under advanced -security there is another option -mac filtering which also list my devices but mac filtering is not switched on, so is this for internet or ethernet connections and do I need to list devices and turn on.
I am puzzled why there are two lots of mac filtering, one under advanced-security, the other under advanced -wireless -security.
I did try switching on the advanced -security-mac filtering and it blocked connection rather than filter the device as an allowed device.
Some use mac filtering to time limit devices (hub 4?)

Hi ALF28,
Thanks for your post.
Can you clarify what it is you are asking? Is why are there two types of Mac filters?
