Hello Usually when I visit a friend or family we use the admin prompt to ipconfig and note the gateway address. Then we use that in the address bar to get to the router. Once in, either by password and admin or the person's password I look at the passphrase or key so that I can enter that on my laptop when I click on their SSID and I have connection.
I was at my son's and I think he said he made the mac address specific to the device so I could not perform what I had outlined.
Is this a good security measure and in sort of layman's terms how do you do this to provide extra security if that is the case? Does this restrict you in any way?
Thank you
Peter
