How do I turn off mac address filtering on my N600 Dual Band Wireless Router WNDR3400v2

I recently purchased a Kindle Paperwhite Wi-Fi but it will not connect to my network. After an agonizing hour with Amazon Tech support updating, booting, re-booting, I was told to turn off MAC address filtering. Unfortunately there is nowhere on either the Basic or Advanced screens where I can turn off Mac address filtering. I think it used to be there but with the latest firmware update it's gone. I am running Windows 10 OS.

  • Manual bottom of page 77. A strong wireless passphrase is more effective than Mac Address Filtering

      I agree with your statement but the bottom of page 77 is not what I see on my screen. There is no Wireless Card Access List or Set Up Access List button.
