unable to "lock" mac address

Cisco 877 wireless router latest firmware. c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-4.T1



Hi,



When trying to set a mac address access on the wireless side, you can enter the mac address and apply it, but the mac address window then clears showing a blank.



When doing this with a IP address the IP address stays in the window. Is this a bug or does something else have to be set?



I would prefere to use the mac address for security. The mac address is from a wireless laptop if that helps



Thank you


Are you using SDM ? latest version (2.2A) ?

or use SDM auto update feature

Yes I have updated SDM also, which I run from the router. Must be a bug! :-(
