How can I restrict access to our wireless network using mac addresses?

I am wanting to add a whitelist of mac address and only allow those address to connect to the wireless. How can I go about doing this?

Thank You.

We have MAC authentication where you would set up the users as the MAC address of the client you want to allow to authenticate. The end user won't need to enter a password or username as the MAC address will be automatically submitted by the device. Any device that isn't pre-configured as a user will not be able to connect.

If you can tell me which HiveManager platform you are using, I can provide a guide that explains how to set this up. This guide will walk you through how to determine which HiveManager you are using, for reference: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Which-HiveManager-Platform-am-I-using

Thank You for the guide. I am having an issue setting up the users. It is wanting an email address. How can change that to allow a username instead of an email address?

Thank You.
