I wanted to know that how many MAC addresses I can put into Mac address filter list. Is there a limit to add hosts.
In my office there are at least 50 employees who access the internet through wireless network. I want add all of these MAC addresses to MAC address filter list.
Can some one help?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Andy
Is there a limit to the number of MAC addresses you can enter? What if I wanted to add 100 mac addresses and use WPA. I do not have an Airport but looking fro a vendor that supports both MAC filtering and WPA.

Hmm, very weird. It looks like this was happening after I let the Airport Utility do a reboot when requested (after configuring all MAC filtering rules).

I just tried manually turning my Airport Extreme off (unplugging cable) for about 10-15 seconds, and after turning it on again, I was able to access it without any problems. Everything works great now. Not sure why, but it seems like this worked.

Hope this can help someone with same problem…
Cheers!

LOL, I love how you handled your answer here. Nothing too much, and in the same time nothing left out

There is so many people just like him out there, and that’s what’s so scary about all this. Your intentions posting this MAC filtering advice were nothing, but great advices and I just want you to know (if it’s worth any), there are some people who appreciate all this.

Thanks again!
