Hi everyone!

I am looking for some help! I have AirPort Extreme setup as my primary Wifi.

Is there anyway I could allocate static ip for every device I connect it with? for example 1 ip for iPhone 1 for Mac etc.. So if anyone else connects they don't get Internet access unless I manually allocate them an ip?

My motive behind is to stop intruders from using my Internet! I have used Alpha Numeric and Special Characters but it gets compromised.

I am not very good with computers, I have attached my current configuration.

Thank you all!

You can go into Access Control (on the Network tab), set the default to No Access, and add the MAC addresses of the 'good' clients. No static IPs required.

Thanks for the directions, Initially it wasn't working due to iOS using random MAC address for privacy reasons but if you turn off that function it works great!
