WLAN Access Denied for enabled MAC Address in the ACL
I have a rather large Access Control List (ACL), and I've never had a problem with it in the past, but I just got a new laptop and even when I register the MAC Address and reboot the router I am still getting the "WLAN Access Denied" error when accessing it from the laptop. I've done all the "sanity checks" of making sure the password is correct and that other devices still work. I got the MAC address for the laptop the same way I always have, I see the MAC Address in the Logs in the Access Denied message and copy it from there into the access list. I have done this with over 20 other devices successfully, I'm not sure what's different about this one MAC Address... I did confirm through ipconfig on the laptop that the MAC Address I am using is correct. When I turn off the ACL I can connect with no issues from the laptop. Any thoughts? I'm very familiar with computers and can do advanced troubleshooting, I just don't know infrastructure and networking stuff well so I don't know where to start here. Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue would be appreciated!Solved4.7KViews0likes2Comments
