Overview:

MAC Filtering (Access Control List – ACL) is a security feature used to control device access to the WiFi network based on the device’s unique MAC (Media Access Control) address.

Each device connecting to the network has a unique MAC address. Using ACL, the system can:

  • Allow only specific devices (Whitelist mode)
  • Block specific devices (Blacklist mode)

In BPI platforms, MAC filtering is supported per radio band:

  • 2.4GHz
  • 5GHz
  • 6GHz

This allows independent access control policies for each band.
