Hello, if we have the access points nwa50ax managed from the Nebula Control Center. Is it possible to configure an SSID with WPA2 + PSK authentication + MAC address whitelist.

For example, we import all of our mac addresses in advance, then provide users the pre shared key. Any device mac addresses we haven't imported will be rejected from connecting.

In this setup, we have no Zyxel switches. I am already aware mac address whitelisting can be bypassed quite easily.

Thanks.

    Hi @WiFi534534,

    Welcome to the Zyxel Community!

    NWA50AX can be configured with WPA2-PSK. However, please note that MAC address whitelisting is not a supported feature in NCC. NCC provides MAC authentication instead, and this function is not supported on NWA50AX.

    To meet your requirement, we suggest referring to the Help Center > Device Function Table in NCC and considering other AP models that support MAC authentication.
