    Hi Sir,

    Nebula can meet your requirements through simply two steps, I'll demonstrate the detail setting page below:

    1. Configure the SSID to use both "MAC authentication" and "WPA2-Personal"

    (Location: Access Point > Configure > SSID Advanced Settings)




    2. Create the Trusted MAC Address in the Cloud Authentication List
    (Location: Site-Wide > Configure > Cloud Authentication > "MAC" tab)



    Please noted that, some devices will use random MAC address to access Wi-Fi (which is different from the system default MAC address), so please disable the random MAC address, or clarify the address used by each device before adding them in the list.

    Best Regards,
    Richard

    thanks, i made a test with an AP mine and is work perfect. I see the switch "use mac autentication" but the line under "use mac address as username and password"  make me think this will remove wpa2 auth.
    Thanks.
