Windows 10: Issue Connecting to Wifi on Multiple Devices After applying MAC Filtering

For the past 8 months, I have had zero issues with my router.The other night, I applied MAC filtering to my router.Now I get this message for several devices in my house even though the MAC addresses are correct.“Unable to join the network ____.The network is operating on wifi channels in use by several other nearby networks.Restarting your wireless router may allow it to automatically choose the best channel to use and may resolve this problem.” Or Unable to join this network. I confirmed the MAC addresses are correct that are being whitelisted.I reset the network settings on my iph

Cannot connect to WiFi network that is using a MAC filter


Hello,

I am trying to connect a Windows 10 laptop to a WiFi network that is using a MAC address filter. When I attempt to connect Windows reports that it is "Checking network requirements". Then it reports that it "Cannot connect to this network". I have been able to connect dozens of other devices running everything from iOS to Android to Windows 7 with no problems. However, this is my first Windows 10 attempt. I am not sure what I am missing.

Things I have tried so far:

• I have triple checked the MAC address to make sure I have the correct one.
• Contacted the manufacturer of the router and applied the recommended firmware updates.
• Checked the laptop manufacturer for driver updates for the wireless adapter
• Turn off the MAC filter on the router

When I turn off the filter, the laptop connects immediately. That leads me to think that problem is a data entry error with the MAC address. To eliminate any possibility of error I cut and paste directly from what ipconfig reports as the MAC address for the wireless adapter. See below for details:

I am using the MAC address for the Wireless LAN Adapter.

Thank you in advance for any information that you might have.

 

Kick or Ban who is connected with my internet ?

You would have to do that on your Router's setup webpage. 1st step is to turn on WiFi encryption and password. 2nd step, if you feel you need to, is set up an access list of the physical MAC addresses for the network adapters of the computers you want to allow to connect. Any other network adapter not on that MAC filter list won't be able to connect. (but MAC addresses can be easily spoofed, if the third person knows which MAC addresses are allowed).

 

Nokia 5800 WLAN Mac Filtering Issue with linksys router

I used the code "*#62209526# " to check the MAC Address, i also verified this through the wireless client list for the router.

DHCP is already enabled.

keep in mind that i have no problems connecting with the router if the MAC Filtering is turned off. The issue is that when i enter the MAC Address of my mobile in the filtering list it says "The MAC Address cannot be the multipart address".
