Any "kid" can see what clients are conected to a specific BBSID and replicate that mac address, soo he`s in in like seconds. I have the same problem right now . My router is kindda buged and can`t use any tipe of encryption no wep/wpa/wpa2 , just the basic mac filtering. I have a "client" that is all the time conected to my router. Trust me is nothing to do against that ( except sniffing his web activity and do some reverse hacking )except maybe no wifi enabled. If u have another solution for this please tell me cuz i`m out of ideeas . The MAC address control is just a joke.

Beside, the wireless network cannot secure without the hardware firewall and most of the people do not worry about it! That's mean 60% of people around the world didn't secure their network... I have no idea with most of the company that hired me to test their networks didn't pay much money in security... Whatever!

It has nothing to do with Apples computers, but stands for Media Access Control. That's a unique value hardwired into the firmware of the network adapter. Since the address can be spoofed, it shouldn't be the only security method. http://www.technipages.com/block-connections-to-your-linksys-router-by-mac-address.html Many routers also have the option to restrict access to a preapproved list of the network adapter
