Turn off filtering by MAC address

Hi, I recently got WIFI for my house. I want to use wifi on my ipod touch but even when I add and connect to my network with the password. I can't use wifi and applications that require a connection. Most people say that I have to turn off my MAC address filter to make my ipod touch can access the internet. Thank you.

MAC address filtering is enabled or disabled in your wireless router.  It is disabled by default and would be activated only if you have explicitly configured the router like this.  See the user manual of your router for more information, or tell us the router brand and model number.

  • How to turn off filtering to connect to a printer by MAC address?

    original title: MAC address filtering?

    I'm trying to connect an hp photosmart wireless on my new computer printer, a print says that if I have active filtering by MAC address I should add to my list of devices allowed for wireless router. I am a beginner and do not MAC how to turn off the printer.?

    All devices in the world that can connect to a network has an address unique identification enter the MAC address.  (This has NOTHING to do with Apple products - although they will also have mac addresses.)

    Your printer will be on documentation and probably on the box.

    Most routers have the ability to allow only the addresses specified MAC communicate through the router.  If you do not have this filtering enabled in your router then you need do nothing.  If you have enabled mac filtering, then you must type the address of the printer in the appropriate in the router configuration page.

    There is nothing on the printer '' disable'. (sic)

  • Configure filtering of MAC address on WRT54G - nothing links

    I created MAC address filtering on the wireless router.  5 MAC addresses added to the ALLOWED list, by selecting from the available devices.   Saved the changes.  Now, none of the machines can connect to the access point.  This includes the PC that I use to connect and administer the access point.  I plugged the network cable directly to my PC to manage the router/access point.  Still not able to connect.  That's happened?  How can I go and turn off this nonsense.  I know that MAC filtering is moot wrt efficiency, but I decide to try it.

    Reset the router back to the default values. Reconfigure from scratch.

  • Filtering of MAC addresses

    I'm currently setting up a new 1240ag access point and I would like to do MAC address filtering on them, but I seem so difficult to get the machines to connect. I can activate the filter and some computers will connect and then some will not be. I do reboots take the filter out of the internface and reapply but no dice. I have it if I can get two clients to connect, but when I add third No... But if I power down the two originals and restart the third I can connect but if I bring the two original back up, they do not connect. I enclose a copy of my config. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The access point is located right next to the laptop.

    Two things

    one: MAC filtering is not supported with WPA authentication. I couldn't find the reference that it is one of the notes of 12.3.

    two: it is in the notes of version authentication WPA is not supported with energy saving enabled in the client wireless from this link.

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/wireless/access_point/iOS/release/notes/b38jarn.html#wp47132

    Three: Authentication MAC is more work that it is worthwhile for most WIFI cards support MAC local address.

  • Turn off Unix and Mac in Photoshop 7?

    I work with Photoshop 7 and I have problems with file names truncated when saving jpg files. I was told that I had to "uncheck the compatibility of Mac and UNix file name in the file name options, but can't find it. Thank you...

    I suggest that you ask specific questions in the PS forum in the future, especially since you use software and installation of course is not the problem you are having... To answer your question: these options are available in the Web dialog box, when you select custom settings... in the pop up window at the bottom. I recommend you only save a preset for these options fit for future use.

  • How to find the MAC address for photosmart c510 - printer, not zineb

    HP Photosmart c510 all-in-One

    Windows 7 SP1

    Printer bought 2 weeks ago.

    Printer wireless light is not on, not even flashing

    I use MAC address filtering on my home wireless router.  No problem adding the Zeen, I found that it is easy MAC.  Of course for the printer, it says "Printer not available" on the display of zineb, just below the zitoun MAC address.

    So I need to add the MAC address of the printer to my router.  I know that I can turn off filtering by MAC address and I hope that the printer connects, and then I can print the printer network settings, get the MAC, and then again turn on the filter and add the printer Mac

    Is this the ONLY way I can get the MAC address of the printer?  I'd rather not have to do that whole process, but will if I have to.

    I also wonder why the printer wireless light is not even blinking as he is looking for a network.

    Can anyone help?

    Print a network Test Wireless in the network menu on the front of the printer. It will contain the MAC address. Note that MAC filtering is not in that ensure that used MAC addresses are sent in the clear, and it is easy to impersonate a MAC address on a computer.

  • MAC address filtering problem with router DI-624 and printer HP D110

    Just got the wireless D110 printer and cannot connect to the wireless router.

    I have a D - Link DI - 624 Air Plus Xtreme G 2 .4GHz Wireless Router.

    The error message I get from the printer, it's that "address filtering Mac can be activated on your wireless router. This can prevent your HP printer to connect to your network without wire during installation... etc. ".

    The D-Link is configured with WPA - PSK security. If I disable all the security the wireless printer is able to connect. I can't connect the printer to the wireless router with WPA - PSK or WEP same active. There is no connection with the electrician the printer and the router.

    I have connected the router Admin and have repeatedly confirmed that Mac filtering is turned off by going to Advanced Options > Filters > filters Mac > and choose disabled Mac filters. Where is this setting? Why is not able to connect printer?

    In addition, I check the logs on the router and it shows "Wireless PC connected" and "Authentication successful" with a note that has the Mac address of the corresponding hardware address mac hardware of the printer on the wireless network Test report. It seems that the router is to let printing but the printer is not able to communicate for some reason any. It even shows under status > wireless printer is connected.

    When I talked to HP, they said to contact the router company and they couldn't help. When I called D-Link, they said technical support is no longer available for the model. I am stuck, can anyone help?

    Windows XP, tried the front of the printer and USB connection and using the software.

    After a few hours on the phone with the D-Link and HP, the problem has been resolved.

    Apparently, even if that Mac filtering is disabled (set to disabled MAC filters), the Mac address had to enter the router to enable all keeping off Mac filter setting. To me he appeared in the counter intuitive to enter the Mac address, while set to disabled the Mac filter so I wasn't that before picking up the phone with HP. Further on this point, the problem is not going away right after adding the mac address, but rather after the reboot of the router, such as the addition of mac address did not effect, without a reboot of the device.

    HP has been much more useful than a D-Link on it, although it would be nice for HP to add to their instructions and Test report of wireless network to add the Mac address, just in case. I would have tried this step if it has stated that it is acceptable to add the mac address and keep the mac filters disabled.

  • IPad wi - fi MAC address not "MAC address" according to the Linksys router

    WRT55AG 2.0:

    Failed to save the MAC address of my new iPad wi - fi MAC filtering table.  Upgrade to the latest firmware, but still does not work.  When I try to record, I get a pop-up that says: "not a MAC Address.

    If I disable the MAC filtering, the iPad can be accessed via the router and the router shows the good MAC iPad in the customer table wireless, but I much perfer to have enabled MAC filtering.

    1. the MAC address filter is not a problem. It's a joke. As I have said before: the MAC addresses are always transferred not encrypted. If someone tries to penetrate your WPA2 protected wireless network, it is necessary to capture a lot of wireless traffic to crack the password. By the time it is cracked (who is supposed to be very difficult and time consuming if the password is good) the hacker knows all the MAC addresses that are accepted for your wireless network.

    2 No. more isn't always better. Are three locks on your door better than two? Ten are better than two? Why have you not 10 locks on your door? The longer the better? It's more, but the impact on you is much more important than the impact on an attacker. WPA2 with a strong password is like putting a stone wall think 100feet for protection. It is very high and very difficult to 'jump '. Filtering of MAC addresses is like putting another small 5 inch thin barrier in front of the wall. The longer the better? Anyone that can fly over the wall will easily get over the fence. The greatest effect of the fence, it's that you will sometimes fall on it because you have forgotten. Compared to WPA2 security with a password strong MAC filter is simply not useful.

    3. the same for the SSID broadcast. Leave it active. The SSID is always transferred unencrypted over the affair with the access point. Any malicious person can easily find your SSID. In addition, it is easy to force a device associated to re-associate. With the right software, it takes a few seconds to learn the SSID. And even with SSID broadcast disabled, him access point always sends a signal of ELT. This means that the existence of your access point is immediately visible. Just the SSID is not transmitted with the tag.

    4. the disabled SSID broadcast technically breaks the wireless standard. Problems with wireless clients are common.

    5. the hidden SSID will be also the batteries in your wireless devices: wireless device always must actively try to connect from the hidden SSID. There is no other way to find out whether there is in the range. If you have ten networks hidden in the list of your wireless device wireless networks will try these ten networks frequently to see if one of these is in the range. In other words, it will try to connect to the hidden SSID and see if anything responds. If you do not connect to any hidden SSID (i.e. all the wireless networks in your list are broadcast) then it is very easy to find out whether a network is within reach: the device has to do is passively listen to the signals from the tags. There is no need to send anything until a known SSID is within reach. Then only the wireless device will try to associate with the SSID.

    So: don't hide your own SSID. And stay away from the other SSID hidden. Do not associate those or don't forget to remove from the list of preferred networks prior to departure. This will allow you to save a lot of battery power...

    To summarize: your neighbor who doesn't know computers would have a problem with broadcast SSID disabled or filtering of MAC addresses. But your neighbour do not know how to use a software to crack a wireless anyway. Anyone who is sophisticated enough to try a good attack on a protected network WPA2 will have no problem with the SSID broadcast or filtering of MAC addresses.

    And if it is an automated attack the SSID and MAC address is detected automatically. The broadcast SSID and MAC address filters are issues for you. They are not problems for any aggressor.

  • Disable broadcast SSID and MAC address turn on filtering on WAG320N

    When disabling SSID broadcast and enabling MAC address filtering on WAG320N, my other laptop wireless disconnected.  And when you try to connect, it connects again.

    You can not hide from intruders.

    The router always sends the tag. The router is immediately detected.

    The SSID is always transferred not encrypted. He is always sent over the association. It is easy to force a re-Association. If there is a single device without wire connected to the access point it takes about a second to learn the SSID.

    Disable the SSID requires your wireless devices to search actively for the network. This means that your laptop will always try to connect to your SSID, as long as it is not connected to another network. As sending requires much more power then listen passively it drains your battery.

    And, in fact, if you are in an internet café anyone can learn your SSID in time where you go on the wireless at the moment where you associate with the network of internet café.

    In addition, it causes many problems with different wireless, as instability or similar cards.

    MAC filtering is still more useless that the MAC address is always part of any wireless transmission and it's always clear. It is extremely easy to pick up the allowed MAC addresses, and it is extremely easy to change the MAC address of a wireless card.

    New: use the real security and forget this nickname of security features.

    What you try to do is a waste of time. Of your time. It will slow down any intruder.
