Many home users and organizations have a need for keeping unauthorized users out of their wireless networks. In addition to taking away network bandwidth from legitimate users, intruders can use the network for illegal purposes or eavesdrop on others' traffic to gain sensitive information. A security measure available in many routers is Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering. When it is active, the wireless router only lets a wireless adapter join the network if the adapter's MAC address is contained in a list stored in the router. Intruders using devices with unknown MAC addresses are denied service.
Step 1
Connect your PC to a numbered port on the wireless router with the Ethernet cable.
Step 2
Step 3
Launch a Web browser on the computer and navigate to the configuration utility built into the router. The specific Web address depends on the make and model of the router. For example, for a Linksys WRT54GS, navigate to '192.168.1.1'.

Step 4
Navigate to the configuration menu for the 'MAC address filtering' security feature. For example, on a WRT54GS, click 'Wireless,' then 'Wireless MAC Filter.'
Type the MAC address you want allowed by the router into the configuration utility. For example, on a WRT54GS, select 'Enable' for the 'MAC Filter' feature and select 'Permit only PCs listed to access the wireless network.' Click 'Edit MAC Filter List.' A new window will come up. Click an empty field and add the new MAC address, then click 'Save Settings.' The window will close. Click 'Save Settings' again in the main browser window. At that point, your router will start allowing the MAC address you added to join the network.

A router provides Internet connectivity to your local network while affording some protection for your network at the same time. The modem that you use to connect your office to the Internet has a different set of identifying numbers than the router. If you set your NetGear router to the same MAC address as your Arris modem, you can increase the security of your office network. This project requires accessing the NetGear administration page and modifying the router's MAC address manually.
1.Access your Netgear router's administrative interface. Open a Web browser on a computer connected to the network services via the router and type 'http://192.168.1.1' (without quotes) in the address bar.
2.Enter your administrator's password when prompted. The defaults out of the box are 'admin' and 'password.'
3.Click on 'Basic Settings' and select 'Use This Computer's MAC Address.'
4.Enter the MAC address of the Arris modem. This is either located on a slip in the modem's original packaging or on a sticker attached to the bottom of the modem.
5.Click the 'Apply' button to save your settings. Close your browser, open it again, and return to the Arris modem administration screen. The MAC address should now be set to the new address you just entered.
