Are there any home or small business wireless routers that have more than 32 mac address filters? I'm currently using a Linksys WRT120N with a 32 address capacity and 32 is not enough.

FWIW, MAC filters have been shown to be useless. Anyone with a wireless sniffer and the desire can spoof an existing MAC addr. A good password is much more secure – uSlackr Jun 21 '11 at 15:48
It is an odd situation. The goal is to limit access to certain devices so only certain people can use the internet -- but people can't be trusted not to share the password with people who shouldn't be using the internet. Protecting against MAC spoofing isn't that big of a deal in this use case. – Kyle Brandt Jun 21 '11 at 16:05

Linksys WRT54G(L) with DD_WRT will take 128 addresses.

This is a possibility -- ideally though just buying something that can support this with stock firmware is ideal. – Kyle Brandt Jun 21 '11 at 16:06
I did a bit of research on this suggestion and it looks intriguing, but beyond my scope of knowledge and abilities. Thanks, though. – Charyl Jun 21 '11 at 22:07

I finally got the nerve to give this a try and I LOVE it. DD_WRT solved my mac address problem and has proven to be much more stable. I have not had to reset my router since installation. Thank You! -Charyl – Charyl Jul 17 '11 at 19:15
