Enable Access Control

There's an option to enable access control for Wifi Devices, but there isn't an option to enable access control for wired devices. Untitled.png

Re: Enable Access Control

Why would you need mac-level access controls for the ethernet port?  Unlike Wifi you have control over physical access.

Re: Enable Access Control

There’s been a few times I noticed some questionable ones that show up in wired that I don’t believe have physical access to. It’s a bit suspicious; especially when some disappear after I do a firmware update or restart the extender.

Re: Enable Access Control

There is access control here for wired and wifi.  I would've thought that kind of control would also be available for the extenders.There is access control here for wired and wifi. I would've thought that kind of control would also be available for the extenders.

I don't disagree with that, but I also don't think you'd need that for wired connections, especially since there is only one ethernet port on your extender.
