Wax206 Access Control
I Just Purchased A WAX206 To Use As An Access Point For My R7900P Router. If I Have Access Control Set Up On The 7900, do I Also Need To Set Up On The WAX206?
Oh big sorry please, I stand corrected. Had checked a R7900 instead of a R7900P. This model does have a single simple network ACL, indeed.
Said that, if you insist of managing device level MAC address ACL, both the R7900P and the WAX206 ACLs do the same style of filtering. So to have a MAC ACL to add an additional layer of control, you need to configure and maintain the ACL on both devices.
Sorry again 8-) Lack of coffee here...
I Did Read Everything Including The Link. What I Am Saying Is That The Text In The Link And The Text In my Documentation and the UI don't match.

No Problem. Thanks For The Answer. Based On What You Said I May Rethink The Need For ACL, Especially If I Need To Manage It On Both Routers.
