DHCP and MAC address limitation

I have an SMC router and since I'm using a repeater, I have to
broadcast the SSID. Because of that, I have set MAC address
limitations. Even though it's enabled, and seems to work from a
little testing, I still see a bunch of computers logged into my router
via DHCP. What's the deal here?

Thanks.

You may want to disable DHCP on the router and only use static IP(s). It may
help your situation.
