you just have to access the GUI of your rtr then go to MAC filtering tab, there you can change it. there is also a site where you can have different GUIs for different type or brand of your rtr, there you can experiment or maybe find more easy steps on accessing your rtr's GUI.

Why is MAC filtering better than IP filtering for your home router?
The MAC address for each devices will not change but an IP address can be reused so using the MAC address for filtering means that the device will always be included whereas the device may be blocked if allocated a new IP address which has been blocked by the filter.
How do you enable mac filtering on aztech hw550-3g?
i want settings mac address my router...only internet access by mac
Which fields of the IPv4 header change from router to router and why they change?
IP address remains the same. Mac address changes from router to router.

Which feature that you configured on the Linksys WRT300N makes you feel the most secure and why?
MAC address filtering uses the MAC address to identify which devices are allowed to connect to the wireless network. When a wireless client attempts to connect, or associate, with an AP it will send MAC address information. If MAC filtering is enabled, the wireless router or AP will look up its MAC address a preconfigured list. Only devices whose MAC addresses have been prerecorded in the router's database will be allowed to connect.
What is Mac address filtering?
Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering is a little different from WEP or WPA. It doesn't use a password to authenticate users - it uses a computer's physical hardware. Each computer has its own unique MAC address. MAC address filtering allows only machines with specific MAC address access the network. You must specify which addresses are allowed when you set up your router. This method is very secure, but if you buy a new computer or if visitors to your home want to use your network, you'll need to add the new machines' MAC addresses to the list of approved addresses.
How do you change your Mac filtering?
You will need to access your wireless router's configuration. There should be a section for Wireless security, then there should be a section for MAC filter. Can't give specifics as you didn't mention the brand.
What are the advantages of MAC Address Filtering?
MAC filtering takes network security to the next level by only granting access to specific network cards.A MAC (media access control) address is a unique identifier for a network card; no two cards have the same MAC address, so it functions like a fingerprint - even a wireless card and an Ethernet card built-in to the same laptop won't have the same MAC address. Therefore, MAC address filtering adds security by only allowing network cards with the right "fingerprint" to access the network.However, it should be noted that MAC address filtering is not a strong form of security. MAC addresses are extremely easy to "spoof" - that is, it's easy to fake the address of a legitimate network card. If an attacker is able to identify the MAC address of a permitted network card, they can masquerade as the legit card. Therefore, MAC address filtering is not a replacement for using encryption. MAC address filtering can help security if used in an environment running WPA.
What is commonly used to restrict access to a network based on the physical hardware address of the clients network device?
You can enable MAC address (also know as Physical Address) filtering. MAC address filtering has two modes: 1. Allow access to listed MAC addresses 2. Deny access to listed MAC addresses.
Why is MAC address filtering considered a poor choice in securing a WLAN?
MAC addresses are easily spoofed.
Which device makes traffic forwarding decisions based on mac address?
A switch uses MAC address to forward frames while a router uses IP addresses.
What technology is used to allow or deny traffic over the network based on the physical address of the devices?
