Hi Guys,

I use Mac address authentication on the wireless on my Draytek 2820Vn, and the problem that i have is a long list of mac addresses, without a clue as to what they relate to (i.e. which is my laptop, which are friends laptops) etc.

How about a text field (free text) with up to say 20 Chars to allow a brief description with each Mac - this way each would be easilly recognised, and one could remove anything that is no longer required, or easilly see what is allowed? This could be displayable/editable in the Wireless Lan > Access control menu.

Thanks
Paul

You only have to use the product, to know how much a useability bonus this would be.

Infact anything where a MAC address is entered, like IP/MAC address binding.

I'll vote for this. I have to keep a text file with the associations and what they mean.
