MAC filtering with guest network

Hello, I have E4200v2 of Cisco, and after someone hacked password of my router, I was forced to activate a white list of MAC filtering. Problem is that I also like to activate a network of comments so my small business clients could still connect to the wifi, without acceding to out to home PC (and drink our bandwidth).

Is this possible? Thank you.

1. make sure that disable WPS.

2 change the router password on the Administration page to guarantee something.

3 make sure to disable remote management.

4. set WPA2 Personal with a new strong password.

5 disable the feedback network.

That will protect your network. Piracy is not possible unless someone passes the WPA2 password or have access to the router and ethernet ports.

The MAC filter won't help you. MAC addresses are transferred, are easily picked up and not cloned.

If you want to activate the guest network you must accept the fact that other computers connect to your guest network and try to access the internet from there. They manage unless they know the password, but still, they can connect to the guest network because it is not protected. Only access from the network invited to the internet is protected.

He must also accept the fact that you can "drink your bandwidth. If you do not like who don't offer guest access.

  • Airport Extreme with guest network configuration

    Hello

    I have a two-storey house and want to spend an Airport Extreme on each floor.

    In technichal room I have my ISP and a witch (192.168.1.0) dhcp router

    There is also a switch and a patchpanel which I have connected my extreme two boxes to.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to implement it properly? I would like to have internal wich wpa2 network and a network of comments without password and of course I want to have the same ssid, etc. on each floor.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to implement it properly?

    There's the rub.  Since you have a router supports DHCP and NAT services to the network 'upstream' extremes of the airport, the airports must be configured in Bridge Mode to avoid Double NAT error that occurs when you have more than one router on a network.

    Unfortunately, the network comments feature does not work correctly when the airport is in Mode Bridge connected to another router.  The 'main' or private network works OK, but 'guests' will not be able to access the Internet.

    The only way to do what you want would be to configure things wrong by...

    (1) connect to an AirPort Extreme to the switch and configure it as a router to "create a wireless network" using DHCP and NAT.

    (2) linking the second AirPort Extreme for the first AirPort Extreme... not to the switch... and implement the extreme second "extend using Ethernet.

    Since you will have a Double NAT on the network, there is no guarantee that things will not work properly. Sometimes you can get away with a Double NAT error on a simple network, but it can cause difficulties of communication between devices on the network and the difficulties with Internet connections as well.

    If you have a console online game and want to play interactively on the Internet, the Double NAT error will not allow this to happen.  Similarly, if you plan to use Back To My Mac or Port Forwarding for access over the Internet to remote devices, the Double NAT will allow these connections probably not happen.

    We do not recommend a Double NAT Setup, but we have some ideas on how to do it. There of probably no harm in trying the Double NAT configuration if you have the time and are willing to experiment to see if it peut work for you, I'm sorry, but there are no guarantees here.

  • MAC filter with autonomous access points

    Hi all

    A very simple question... I want to create local wireless networks using autonomous APs for the first time. I know this can all do with a trivial way controller, but this project can't stretch to that...

    • Can I use MAC filtering on autonomous APs to restrict clients associate?
    • I think that it will be 1240AG devices, but I guess the answer is the same for all models?
    • Can I mix MAC filtering with WEP/WPA? And use MAC filtering without encryption?

    Thank you!

    PS. I know filtering MAC is terribly weak, but it is a requirement here...

    Yes, you can:

  • WAP54g does not recognize the IP address of my laptop with active Mac filtering

    I have reset my factory default WAP54g v3.05 to allow access to the older computer to my network.

    Now, I reinstalled for better security using my new laptop: no SSID broadcast and WPA2-Personal encryption. However, when I activate the Mac filtering and allow my laptop more recent, the WAP54g does not recognize.

    Disable Mac filtering and my laptop is back on the network.

    Any suggestions to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    Make sure that the MAC address of the wireless network adapter in the MAC address filtering tab. To get the MAC address of the wireless network card. Click on start-> Go to run-> type-> CMD-> Hit Enter type ipconfig/all

    This will give a show you the MAC address for adapter ethernet and a wireless adapter. You must select one for the wireless network adapter.

  • iPad Air2, Wi - Fi and MAC filtering

    Two other iPads in the House and my iPad Air2 keep disconnecting my wireless router when I turn MAC filtering AND broadcast THAT SSID is disabled. I can't even manually connect to the router, but when I turn one of these functions, or both, the device will automatically reconnect.  I have a router Linksys WRT of Dual-band 1900AC. I have not had this problem with my previous NetGear router. Does anyone know of a solution?

    Before ask you, yes the MAC addresses of my devices are entered into the router. Also, I realize that MAC filtering is not a security measure. It is not my purpose for its use.

    Thank you!

    Can you give us more details?

    What happens when you try to manually connect?

    I'm afraid to say "cannot connect manually" isn't much for us to go. You have "ask to join networks" enabled?

    Have you tried to install the app from Linksys? I know this is to configure the router, but maybe it will help you to establish a compatible connection.

  • Web sharing guest network

    Hello-

    I have an Airport Extreme that broadcasts a private and a guest to the House network.  On the network, I have a Mac Mini with personal web sharing together upwards to the local network, so I can go to macmini.local to see the web site.  However, the clients on the network of comments cannot see the site because they are not really on the same network.  Is it possible that I can do the same website, hosted on the Mac Mini, available for two networks?

    Thank you.

    Sorry, but no.

  • Address MAC WUMC710 problems when using MAC filtering

    I recently bought the point WUMC710-HQ AC wireless to connect to my router EA6500.  Generally, the WUMC710 seems to work.  I was able to connect to the router wirelessly on the 5 GHz band and flow EA6500 a NetFlix video with no problems.

    However, there is a major problem that comes makes no logical sense for me:

    When I turn on the wireless MAC address filtering of the EA6500, the WUMC710 does not connect to the EA6500router.

    Yet, I 8 eight other wireless devices on my network which connect very well to the EA6500 when the MAC address filtering is enabled.  Thus, the question seems to outright to WUMC710.

    The address printed on the product shipment to the ends of the box with numbers XX:1 d.

    This address matches the address printed at the bottom of the WUMC710 MAC. (normal)

    My EA6500 router recognizes this MAC address as the correct MAC associated with the WUMC710 (when MAC filtering is enabled).  But as soon as the MAC filtering is turned on, the WUMC710 does not recover to the router. (I checked the MAC address, that I walked into the filter at least a dozen times, and she entered correct - but all my other wireless devices connect OK).

    This is a point that seems strange on the MAC address associated to the WUMC710:

    When I am able to connect to the WUMC710, State--> tab Device illustrated the right address MAC I use to filter.  But when I check the status--> network wireless tab, it displays the MAC address wireless like: XX:1E.

    So, now, I try to get into this 'new' MAC address in the MAC of the router EA6500 filter just to see if it will work with this MAC address "without papers" of the wireless device.  At first, it seems to work.  The WUMC710 of blue light will come on indicating that a wireless connection has been established with the router.  BUT nowhere in the web interface of EA6500 says that the WUMC710 has a DHCP connection with the router.  And, if I connect my laptop directly to one of the WUMC710 Ethernet ports, there is no connection to the Internet via the router (as long as the MAC filtering is enabled).

    I did Factory Reset a few times now and no difference.

    Firmware is the factory default - it is there no update of the firmware available, yet.

    I spent several hours trying to understand what is happening with this device and go round and round in circles in trying different things.  I can only conclude WUMC710-AC is defective, or requires a firmware fix - but none are available.

    Am I missing something here?  Or Cisco does suggest a fix for the firmware for the WUMC710-AC?

    (I don't really like to run my network wireless MAC address filtering active wireless.)

    Kind regards

    Jeff

    Cisco-Linksys 2 support with me today confirmed what I thought it was a possible firmware bug, is actually undocumented features of the WUMC710, by design.  And they agreed that they will update the documentation for WUMC710 to take account of these features and system requirements.

    Just like a reference to new users of the WUMC710 AC wireless bridge, I will summarize here the requirements for WUMC710 wireless bridge to work properly with the router, Cisco-Linksys AC6500 Wireless, when MAC filtering is enabled.  If all goes well, this information will save some other people the many hours I spent to dig through the documentation and the FAQ to try to understand what it takes to connect successfully devices behind the bridge of WUMC710 to the AC6500 router - when the MAC address filtering is enabled:

    The following MAC address must be entered in the AC6500 router table filtering of MAC addresses to connect devices behind the bridge WUMC710 wireless to the Internet:

    1. The MAC address of the bridge wireless WUMC710 wireless.
    2. The address MAC LAN of the WUMC710 bridge.
    3. Addresses MAC LAN of each LAN device connected to the LAN Ports of the WUMC710 bridge.

    That in a few words.

    With this information, devices behind the WUMC710 of Internet connection (with the active MAC filtering) is a breeze.

  • How to make MAC filtering

    How can I use MAC filtering to computers that I want to use my wirelsee network? I'm trying to do, I put in the address ip and everything, but after doing this I am not able to connect to the internet until I have reset my router. I have wireless B.

    Thanks to a bouquet.

    1. the MAC filtering does not offer security. If you want to do this for security reasons, forget it. It is not worth. Using WPA2 with a good password. It is safe.

    2. for filtering by MAC address, you must enter the no the IP address of the computers MAC address.

    3 post the exact model and the version of the router as shown on the label under the rotuer.

    4. Please post exactly how you want to put in place filtering. Make sure that you configure MAC wireless filtering on the part wireless to the web interface and access restrictions and not generals?

  • ISE 1.4 WLAN MAC filtering comments

    The WLC (5508), I have a guest and foreign controller setup, the client being in the demilitarized zone. I am Setup ISE as radius server and when I select the MAC filtering option, it won't let me connect to the WLAN comments. Keeps trying to connect and fails authentication.

    I have the installation RADIUS, defined by the WLC in ISE, checked the overide AAA and RADIUS selected as the NAC agent according to the instructions online. But I think that MAC authentications keeps failing.

  • C410a - wireless not connect to the Verizon FIOS router - fails MAC filtering

    I just bought an all-in-one HP Photosmart Premium C410a printer.  It does not connect to the Verizon FIOS Actiontek MI424WR router, failed the test of MAC filtering.  Spent half an hour on the phone with Verizon (no resolution as they checked the filtering MAC is turned off in the router) and 3 hours with HP (no resolution).  Sharing the printer on a home network defeated the purpose wireless and is not acceptable because I don't want to have another PC switched on just to get to the printer.  Someone was able to resolve the failure "MAC filtering" wireless?

    Without the MAC address filtering test indicates the problem is inconsistent with other available error messages.

    There may not be a real problem of filtering.  I saw this message associated with WEP key mismatches secutiry and a host of other issues.

    To what extent do you have on the installation.  We can work from there.

    Host family

    P.S. I saw messages asking people to try to disconnect the router from the internet while doing the configuration of the printer.  Have you tried?  Sometimes the router check with the service provider before it will allow a device to join the network.  It bypasses this audit.

  • Comments of print with extreme network and printer HP Envy 4520

    Project night and I have people coming. My comments and personal networks are set up. I have an extreme Airpot and a range of printers HP 4520. Is there a way that my guests and I can print from here. Other then to move networks back on my printer? I tell myself that I'm asking here before I ask HP. I seem to get better answers here. Thanks for any idea!

    Users connected to the network 'Guest' cannot 'see' all devices in the 'hand' or 'private '.  Only "see you" each other and connect to the Internet.

    Same thing for users on the hand, or a private network.

    If you want a user on the network to be able to print, then you will need to install a printer wireless network reviews.

    If users on the main network and the guest network printing, then you need a printer for each network.

    A Dingo workaround solution would be to ask him to send you an email with an attachment that you can print and give back their.

  • Problem guest network

    I've recently reconfigured my network as follows:

    Modem > router Netgear FVS318G > two airports in mode bridged (by Ethernet cable) another joined the network for AirPlay.

    The guest network problems DHCP configuration. My first thought was to turn it off. However, when I turn off the toggle, the network remains around. Ideally, I would like to configure a VLAN 2 so that the client's network could still be used (primary wifi I want on the VLAN 1) but if this cannot be done, so how can I turn off the radio comments!

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The airport network comments feature will not work properly unless your router 'first' AirPort is set up for DHCP and NAT.  The comments feature does not work when the first or main airport is configured in Bridge Mode.

    Once the 'main' airport set up to do DHCP and NAT, then it is possible to build another airport 'downstream' of the first and extend the functionality of comments like that.

    If your two airports must remain in Bridge Mode... (they will probably stay in bridge, since you already have another router upstream, and you probably don't want to mess with the complications of a NAT Double error on the network), then you can disable comments on the routers of the airport.

    'How' you do this depends on the version of AirPort utility that you use to administer airports.  Please open AirPort Utility, click on the menu of AirPort Utility in the upper left of the screen, and then click the AirPort Utility.  After back with the version number that you see here.  Example is below:
