maybe this can
Hi, I'm using a Tplink W8980 N600 dual band router with dhcp disabled
I'm looking for block the access at a station located over my home connected to my lan network.
I suppose he hacked my network through Wps feature available on my router.
Since I installed in my network powerline, and cams, etc. I'd like to block his device through the Mac address filtering by my router.
I enabled Wireless Mac Filtering in 2.4 and 5Ghz freqs and I set Deny and I enabled the station to filter mac address.
But I notice that the station is still into my lan and it is using my data network.
Why does it happen?

He is logging on to your WiFi? Correct? Change your Passwords, problem solved!I suppose he hacked my network through Wps feature available on my router.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
Blocking the Mac address will do little good if the person has half a clue. Mac addresses are easily spoofed. If you can disable WPS and use WPA or WPA2 encryption and a nice strong key. If you actually must use WPS then turn it off, reset it and reconnect your own clients. Then keep checking at least daily over at least the next few days and less frequently afterwards. Wifi with WPS enabled is much easier to crack. Presumably whoever is on your network, probably a neighbour, used a packet sniffing program to crack the key. If you cut this person off they will probably do it again, with a good chance of succeeding if WPS remains available. But it will probably take them some time. You need to keep an eye on it.
The person is probably a neighbour. The motive can be as simple as free internet, but it can also be that they are up to no good and want you to take the blame. You need to consider reporting the matter just to get it on the record that your network was hacked. You don't want law enforcement knocking on your door with a search warrant and seizing your computer because your IP has been used to download child porn or browse terrorist sites or the like.

OK. Thanks. I didn't know about that. I'm forced to change passkey and reconfigure all clients..
Yes, but as I said this way complicates my life because I have got a lot of clients to configure and recently I succeeded to configure my powerline only through the wps feature of the router.
Yes, thanks...as I said I need to disable Wps and change the passkey..

But for sure he didn't change his mac address then I think this issue could be a wrong configuration or something like that..

How many devices need access to your WiFi? Surely, in a home environment it would be no more than half a dozen? Most of my home network is wired although there are 5 or 6 WiFi enabled devices which only takes me a short time to re-configure when I do change passwords.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
Yes, but I have got some cams that need to configure each one different to otherYes, but I have got some cams that need to configure each one different from the other and I also had got that issue on my powerline but I've configurated all things fine.
Anyway in my router in Wps Settings I noticed Disable Modem Router's Pin function and I could keep Wps enabled and to flag this Disable Pin function to avoid new hackings at my wireless network...
Right?

Here we have 4 adults, 6 lan, 18 wi fi?

Go for wpa2 with strong password , check MAC address 's and only allow those ones in , sure anyone can spoof your mac but at least the layers of defence will help , monitor your network regularly eventually you will win
Anyone can learn to use backtrack and other tools , you just have to be smarter , remember you wouldn't go out shopping without locking your house up would you ?

As I know to hack a WPA2 with Wps disabled is very very hard to do.
There are too many combinations to try with a large dictionary list and you need computer very powerful and it isn't enough to hack the passkey keeping your computer working for some years...

You never say never , nothing is impossible if you know what your doing , staying safe is keeping ahead of the pack like regularly changing passwords and doing regular network scans looking for intruders.
Never assume the door is locked enough to keep intruders out.
