Is the MAC filter on my Wi-Fi network (that uses a password)

Found your problem.

>>59787934
Most definitely 100%.
Don't turn it off.

>>59788042
I fucking hate that I can't add a name to each MAC address and that I can only add or delete addresses.

>>59788042
Well, what's this then?

>>59787934
MAC addresses can be easily intercepted by people listening for network traffic and easily spoofed, so it is basically useless.

Retard much?

Just use WPA-2 with a strong password. Mac filtering is a placebo

It's not a sure-fire way to stop someone, it's just another hoop to jump through if they're not determined.

>>59787934
It isn't placebo, it's just an added layer. It won't stop a dedicated or experienced attacker on its own, but it will limit the casual attack.

Wpa2, per user certificates or passwords, on its own vlan, with ingress and egress rules, and as little access to the rest of your network as possible. The same for guest accounts, septate vlan, but with no access to the rest of your network.

That's how you stay safe.

Things like mac address filtering, and a disconnected honeypot network are just bonuses.

>disconnected honeypot network

How can I benefit from this? Have a location with lots of transient and seasonal traffic where I already have a WPA2 network for my own use.

>>59787934
if you are not a retarded autist, there will be 0% chance either way

>>59787934
It doesn't do a whole lot but it does add a small extra layer of security.

Your personal WiFi network isn't likely to be hacked anyway unless some hacker really fucking hates you in particular. I mean, if thats the case you're probably fucked anyway.

All is well

How will letting Macs connect to your network hurt it? Do they use different wifi than PC's?

Yes, it's pretty easy to sniff out wireless traffic, grab the mac of the clients and then spoof that shit. There's no security with wireless communications
