WhatXbox 360 wireless connection w/ (Mac authentication enabled)? would you like to ask?

Question

Does anyone know if I am able to connect my son's xbox 360 to the wireless network with Mac authentication enabled? We were having problems connecting to the internet with the encrption key so my internet service provider took that off and set up the Mac authentication thingy and set it up so that only certain authorized computers can connect to my network. So my question is does anyone know how I can set this xbox 360 up to be able to connect. Thank you in advanced.

Yes you can.

You will have to go into the admin page of your wireless router and enter the MAC address of your Xbox 360's wireless network adapter.  Easiest way is to disable the MAC authentication briefly and connect the Xbox 360.  You should then be able to see it as a connected device and take note of it's MAC address.  Then enter it onto your allow list and switch MAC authentication back on again.
