[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1066590, member: 176704"] Daro Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, it's not practical to only use cabled connections (even though a lot of the house [I]is[/I] cabled) because some of the devices (phones, tablets, some of the Sat Rxs) don't have ethernet ports and the locations of others would mean ethernet cables running across the living room floor(!), and I doubt that power-line comms would work very well either because the mains system is rather "convoluted" to say the least and has lots of junctions! As soon as I have listed the MAC addresses of all the devices, I'm going to invert the wireless MAC filtering to "Accept" only and enter those addresses into it - this is particularly important as a number of the devices wirelessly connect to the AP and then that connects them via Ethernet to the main router and so those devices are then "seen" as cable-connected by the router, and I can set MAC filtering for cabled devices. As for turning off the SSIDs (the router and the AP have different ones), I was going to do that straightaway, and will do so in a few minutes. [/QUOTE]
