How to set MAC filtering

Just put in a wireless router (DI-524) and I am trying to configure all
security measures. So far I have disabled SSID broadcast, set up WPA-PSK. Now
I don't know how to set MAC filtering. I have my NIC's MAC, just don't know
how to set filtering. Someone says MAC filtering may not do me anymore good,
but I still want to do that. I know I can't be too secure.

Thank you.

Log into the router. Defaults are http://192.168.0.1 User: admin
Password: blank

On the Advanced Tab click the filters button. Select the MAC filters item,
etc. WARNING - Be sure to immediately enter the MAC address of the
workstation you're using or you can lock yourself out.

D-Link has a practice emulator online. See

Thanks so much for your quick and helpful response. I guess it was under my
nose the whole time. I thought I was at the Advance tab many times, but
somehow I didn't see the Filters button.

Thanks again.
