If the default rule is currently set at 'No Access', and you are saying that your niece was able to log on to the network.and her Mac did NOT have a rule established in Timed Access.then that is an issue that will need more investigation and testing.īut, it is also one that I cannot duplicate here, so it will be difficult to find a 'fix' for an issue that I do not have. Your niece's new Mac likely 'remembered' the password from the previous time that she logged on if she used Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer settings from her 'old' computer to the new Mac. If the first setting or rule is 'Unlimited', then any device that had the password to your network could connect.no matter whether it was on the list of items in Timed Access or not.

You may be able to save yourself some time if you simply check to see what the current setting for the default rule is in Timed Access at this time. If a recent firmware update has changed things from what they have always been.then I am not affected.and I should be if I am using the same firmware as others. Other devices will not be able to connect to the network.even if they have the correct password.

Only devices on the Timed Access list will be allowed to connect to the network. So, if you want to use the more traditional MAC Access Control settings, the default rule has to be set to No Access and then you must set up a rule for each device that you want to allow to connect to the network. Devices that are listed or specified in Timed Access will be allowed to connect at the specific times that have been set up for each device. If the default rule in Timed Access is set to Unlimited, then any device can connect to the network if it has the password. It works as it always has, and as expected. I have checked this 3 times this evening to verify. If the default rule in Timed Access is set to No Access.then a wireless device cannot connect.even it has the password for the network.unless it has been setup on the list of allowed devices in Timed Access. They do operate as two separate functions.but it all depends on how you have the default rule setup in Timed Access. In a sense those are/were/should operate as two separate functions, which they did before recently.
