MAC address filtering
Set up your All-Fi Hub so that it only connects to devices by MAC address. This makes your connections more secure. When you turn on MAC address filtering, only devices that you select can connect to your network.
FYI: Make sure you have the MAC address for each device you want to access your Wi-Fi home network. Every device will have its own process to find its MAC address. Check your service documentation or manufacturer’s website for detailed instructions.

- Select Home Network, then MAC Filtering.

- Go to the MAC Filtering section and select Enabled for the radio you want to turn on MAC Filtering.
