WN2500 access list issues
WNDR4500 with a WN2500, had the 2500 in internet surf mode but was having speed issues so changed to fastlane. I was using access lists successfully in internet surf mode but now that 2500 is in fastl...
searay - Yes those 2 addresses are on the list, but as soon as I activate the filtering on the 4500 the 2500 cannot connect to it.
jmizoguchi - Not understanding your advice originally the 2500 was setup with both bands available (labeled internet surf mode in the 2500) I changed it to use the 5 mHZ for Fastlane and 2.4 mHZ for device connections. The mac address filtering on the 2500 works as it always did but if I turn it back on in the 4500 the 2500 cannot connect to it. (the 4500 has the same list as before with the factory device macs and the unique 2500 generated macs.
With the filtering turned off both devices work as they should all devices connect and there is a noticeable speed difference using fastlane so I would like to keep it in this mode, but I would like to be able to run the mac filters
thx
