Hi dydey,
Good day!
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
First of all, we do apologize for the inconvenience of not getting back to you immediately due to the backlog in the system. The Access Control is more secure than the Wireless Access List. The Wireless Card access list only blocks wireless devices that's why the wired devices is not being blocked not like the Access Control feature wherein you may allow or block wired and wireless devices. The Access control is also secure because even those devices not connected to your network can be blocked in advance as long as you have the MAC Address of the devices.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
Oliver
