Using mac adress filtering in WIFI AP mode

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I just installed the ORBI50 system to my network. As I use an untangle firewill/router, I need the Orbi to act as an access point.&nbsp;I installed the system as access point and that seems to work.&nbsp;For security I wanted to use mac adress filtering as I did in my previous setup (on topo of a WPA password obviously).&nbsp;However I can't find the setting to do this anywhere in AP mode?&nbsp;Can someone help me out with this please?&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;David

Hello DaveMoi

You would have to use your main router for those settings when orbi is in AP.
