QUESTION POSED ON: 10 September 2008
Does the restriction of access by MAC addresses also extend to a wired network connected to the wireless router, or does it only restrict the wireless clients?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
If the wireless router has access restriction based on MAC addresses, then the same will be applicable to all the systems connected directly to the router.
