    Default How to add laptops to an wireless network via physical address

    As the topic states i'm trying to add about 5 laptop to a d-link wireless router via their physical addresses due to excessive leaching from surrounding neighbours. The network is password protected but it seems mi housemates dem cant hold dem mouth , so i'm seeking a more effective security method due to excessive scavenging on the network. Any help from ya'll it guru's would b a big help. Thanks

    To type it somewhat - depends on the model of the router. If you can block all other access except the addresses allowed then you're good.

    Write out or copy all the addresses you need to a single file. Use a thumb drive or a single shared folder on the network.
    Once all the MAC addresses are documented add them to the router and block all others.
    Reboot and use. Nobody else will be able to use it.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".
