EX7300 and "positive" MAC address filtering

Hi all,
I just bought and set up the EX7300 and was shocked to find out that it can't filter MAC addresses based on a list of allowed devices. This is the case on my router (WNDR3700) and also was on the previous AP (from D-Link). I found the possibility to "deny" a device, but that would mean, that it is already connected?! Am I missing something, or is this extra security layer gone? Or do the newer routers filter also wired devices by MAC addresses (which the WNDR3700 doesn't - I checked)?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: EX7300 and "positive" MAC address filtering
Thanks Christian,
so if I understood this correctly, the router should do the MAC address filtering centrally. Which makes sense: you only need one list of allowed devices. Unfortunately my old router (WNDR3700) does not filter over LAN, only via wireless. So an upgrade of the router is needed.
I would still expect for older routers like mine to be able to configure the AP manually 😞
