About LinkBacksIt seems every Mac in my house can access my Airport Extreme Basestation via Airport Utility. Is there a way to restrict access? I want to be the sole admin.

Re: How do I restrict access to my AEBS? did you password protect your network? you can also enable MAC Address Access Control, just add every computer MAC address in that way, those not listed will not be able to connect to your network.
I have an ultimate all-in-one product called iMac, a magical and revolutionary product called an iPad and a phone that is vivid, fast, slim, the Galaxy S2.

Re: How do I restrict access to my AEBS? I did those. BUt they allow access to the router settings via Airport Utility. I want to disable access via Airport Utility to connected machines. I do want them to access the internet via wifi.

Re: How do I restrict access to my AEBS? This is the password to connect to the internet via AEBS right? If so this also allows access to the AEBS via Airport Utility. I want to be the sole Admin for the router settings. Is this possible? I want all other Macs to connect to get internet via wifi but I do not want them messing with my AEBS settings. That is the situation.

Re: How do I restrict access to my AEBS? No, this is the password to your Extreme to gain access to the router's settings.
The password to connect to the internet is under the "Wireless" settings - "Wireless Password"I have an ultimate all-in-one product called iMac, a magical and revolutionary product called an iPad and a phone that is vivid, fast, slim, the Galaxy S2.

Re: How do I restrict access to my AEBS? AirPort Utility - Select your base station - Click AirPort and go to Base Station tab - you will see AirPort Extreme Password, just enter your password, verify and press Update.
