MAC Address Restricting

UniFi makes it easy to employ a MAC-based access control list in order to restrict unfamiliar devices from accessing your network.

Note: If you have a large number of client devices, or a pre-existing database of MAC Addresses, we recommend RADIUS-Based MAC Authentication (802.1X).

WiFi Clients

1. Navigate to Settings > WiFi > Advanced.
2. Select MAC Address Filter.
3. Choose whether to build a Deny or Allow List.
4. Fill the list with the MAC Address of the device(s) you wish to include.

Wired Clients

1. Navigate to a UniFi Switch’s Port Manager.
   
   1. UniFi Devices > Select a Switch > Port Manager
2. Select your port.
3. Select Restricted by MAC ID.
4. Add the MAC Addresses you wish to allow.

Note: This feature is not available for built-in ports on the UDR, UDM-Pro, UDM-SE or UDW.
