Is there a way to grant access to ONLY wireless clients listed in the MAC FILTER LIST? It says, ... The DAP-1360 can be setup to deny or only allow access to wireless clients with the listed MAC addresses. I don't understand how to set it up for ONLY ALLOW ACCESS.
Thank you.
-
What mode is the 1360 in?
Probably need to be on AP mode.
-
In am operating in repeater mode. I think it would work in this mode.
Since there is not an ENABLE switch, I was thinking, if you had at least one entry in the table (Allow Access) then the facility is turned on. Then again, it may not work; i.e., an update is required. Have you come across documentation for this? How does it work with other DLink routers?
-
Not sure if it would work in this mode since repeater mode is just repeating whats coming from the main host router. Can you still access the DAPs UI in repeater mode and see if the options are available?
-
Yes, I am operating in repeater mode and able to access the UI.
The notes say ... Wireless Access Settings:
Create a list of MAC addresses that you would either like to accept or reject access to your network.
This is not clear. If you setup a list, must all of them be ACCEPT or all of them be REJECT? If I have a list of ACCEPT Macs then no other devices should be allowed. Therefore, you don't have to list them with the REJECT attribute. I am very confused about the intent of this option.
-
I believe that for any DLINK product with Access Control you can either do one or the other, you cannot have mixed list. So you have to either figure out if you want to allow a list of MACs or deny a list of MACs.

On my DAP1360, which I'm operating in AP mode, Wireless Access Settings gives the following three options:
Turn MAC Filtering OFF
Turn MAC Filtering ON and ALLOW computers listed to access the network
Turn MAC Filtering ON and DENY computers listed to access the network
I'm unable to enter any MAC addresses (i.e, the fields are greyed out) until the second or third option has been selected. So you can either ALLOW a number of computers access, or DENY a number of computers access, but not both. You have to make a choice. Although I haven't used this feature on my DAP-1360, this is exactly the way it works on the DIR-655, and I suspect most, if not all, D-Link products.
Although I haven't tested this, I agree with FuzzyNutz, in that this feature probably doesn't work in Repeater mode, and is certainly not necessary, as the DAP should simply mirror the router settings.

You are correct in how to set the Mode - thank you for clarifying that. Although it may be surperfluous, it does work in Repeater mode!
-
Ok, also just making sure that the this YEAR date isn't limited on the DAP. If it goes beyond 2012 as a selection in the drop down, then you should be ok.
-
I just checked the dropdown box - what a surprise! the entry following 2012 is 2002 followed by 2014. Very interesting. Perhaps while they fix that bug they can get the time function to work. Happy New Year - 2002 again.
-
I recommend that you phone contact DLink support with this information. Maybe they can give you some information on it or maybe get you and RMA unit, Rev B? ::) Worth a call to see.
Keep us posted.

The last two entries are 2032.
