WRT54G

Bill, does the firmware in the WRT54G allow selection of an access
point by MAC address in addition to SSID?



The Wireless Mac Filter section of the router has the following options:

Prevent PCs listed from accessing the wireless.
Permit only PCs listed to access the wireless network.

And, it gives you the ability to edit the MAC filter list.

Here's the text of the help screen...

The Wireless MAC Filters feature allows you to control which
wireless-equipped PCs may or may not communicate with the Router's depending
on their MAC addresses. To disable the Wireless MAC Filters feature, keep
the default setting, Disable. To set up a filter, click Enable, and follow
these instructions:

1. If you want to block specific wireless-equipped PCs from communicating
with the Router, then keep the default setting, Prevent PCs listed from
accessing the wireless network. If you want to allow specific
wireless-equipped PCs to communicate with the Router, then click the radio
button next to Permit only PCs listed to access the wireless network.

2. Click the Edit MAC Filter List button. Enter the appropriate MAC
addresses into the MAC fields.

Note: For each MAC field, the MAC address should be entered in this format:
xxxxxxxxxxxx (the x's represent the actual characters of the MAC address).

3. Click the Save Settings button to save your changes. Click the Cancel
Changes button to cancel your unsaved changes. Click the Close button to
return to the Advanced Wireless screen without saving changes.

Not sure if that answered your question.

But all these settings are on the LAN/Wireless side of the Router,
NOT the WAN side of the Router which is the side that needs to
communicate with the WiFi Access Point out in the WOLRD.......
When using this router as a BRIDGE, to bring WiFi onboard......
