How many MAC address filters can I use?
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2013 11:57 pm
Hey, what's up?
I've been searching the forum and the docs for information on how many MAC addresses can be added to the Wireless Filter section. I want to get a Gargoyle capable router very soon (bandwidth limit looks great) but for my needs I need a MAC white list of 40-50 id's EACH WITH A LABEL. Saw a screenshot with the label for a MAC and that's golden, just need to know how many it can fit in the GUI. I don't want to do an iptables comment. Both the MAC and its label have to be GUI accessible.
This is not about security, that's what the password is for. This is about limiting the number of devices on the network, which also helps deal with bandwidth issues. Password is the toll, MAC are the number of units on the system. Used together it's very effective.
Thanks for any information
