TD-W8960N: Hotel owner has problem re MAC filtering
Region : Ireland
Model : TD-W8960N
Hardware Version : V4
Firmware Version : TD-W8960N
ISP : Vodafone Ireland
Hi all,
I am having a rather annoying problem. I run a small hotel (just 3 floors) and my modem gives a strong enough signal to provide wireless access to everybody in the house however I'm finding that a lot of people, whilst they can connect to the modem, cannot browse online. Connection just times out when they open their browsers.
Recently a guest gave me his laptop and asked me if I could do anything with it. I'm by no means an expert when it comes to this kind of thing so I chanced my arm by putting his MAC address into the CP's Wireless/MAC Filter page. He connected immediately and was able to go online much to my relief.
Thing is, I don't want to have to do this for every guest that comes through my door! Is there any way everybody who has a laptop can connect without me manually entering their MAC addresses?
MAC restrict mode is set to 'disabled' but I thought that would allow everybody unrestricted access?
Can someone help me out? I'm really confused.
