secure network using mac address only?
Model :
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I'm trying to figure out if I can setup my Archer C5 in such a manner that it will allow network and internet access only PC's and smartphones, that have their MAC address manually registered in the administration panel.
I want to use open network without any security setting (both LAN and 2.5 and 5 GHz wi-fi) so user do not have to add a password/kode for access - but at the same time only allow known MAC adresse to use the network.
I have found that passwords unfortunately are not always kept secret but are shared with friends etc. - whereas a network, where acces is controlled purely by MAC address, cannot be used by uninvited guests :-)
I would appreciate, if anyone know who this can be setup on an Archer C5, that they share how to set this up with me :)
