Manually adding in users to Be*Box

Greenlizard0 · 10 Nov 2008 at 19:34

I'm the "network administrator" for my Be*Box and the account holder.

Is there a way of me being able to manually add in users to connect to our home network? I.e. outside of the network key I've created for use in e.g. Windows?

Sorry, I want to know if it's possible to select what wireless clients (i.e. which housemates) can access my network without having to go through changing the network key.

See the thing is - I have a housemate who no longer wants to join the network (use the internet etc.), and I was wondering if I could just kind of chuck him off of it.

I don't want him to have access to it if he's not contributing to the monthly bill.

What's MAC address restriction? There's no wicki article on it. I'm also reading that it's not the greatest of security actions to take? :confused:

The trouble is with the second part of your first sentance. If he's got the key - then he seems to be able to keep relogging in?

Ah fair, it's best I change the key isn't it?

Yes I do want to block him from the LAN too. I'll have to dig up the password and get it sorted. Cheers fella!
