Lock down your wireless router using the MAC filter. Only allow the computers you choose to connect.

  • is it only for PCs? i only allow 3 PCs and some portable devices to connect. will it work if i add these portable devices to the card access list?

  • @klownzter05 Yes. You can lock it down by any MAC address. The easiest thing may be to just use a complicated wireless key instead.

  • @EmptyWalls100 Why do you care about others network? leave it alone IMO.

  • In my router it asks Source and Destination MAC addresses unlike yours which asks only MAC address...what should i do..

  • is there anyway i can block a mac address from using the wifi and not blocking anyone else? even with a password

  • I'm at my dad's house right now and someone has an unsecured wireless router.

    Default password and login.

    Is there any way to message the person?

    I thought of doing this MAC filtering as the router shows the IP and MAC address of his/her computer after I couldn't find a printer on his network to print him or her a warning that their internets isn't secure.

    What are the implications of enabling MAC filtering and locking people out except for the one device?

  • Wireless key, you mean putting a password on my wifi network right. Im sorry im not too technical in these things. I just learn along the way. If its password i dont know how other users in the house gets it. I got intruders here and i want them to stop using my internet for free.

  • @theyXXcallXXmeXXkyle I don't think you can on 360 and ps3.. Just buy a ethernet wire.. its ALOT faster than wireless, and much better for gaming

  • Thanks you! this was peferct information for me to understand and get it to work!!

  • i am trying to get my xbox 360 in the network of my mac...how do you even get to the thing where you enter your mac address?

    someone please help
