Why are they not doing that now?
This discussion always stops making sense right about here.
I agree with the last sentence. It doesn't make sense. Why would someone need to spoof a MAC address if the network is wide open? They wouldn't. MAC address filtering limits what can connect to the network by checking the devices MAC address against a whitelist of allowable addresses. Unfortunately, the MAC address is broadcast in the clear. That's why it doesn't work.
Dakota,
Make sure your Airport Utility software is up to date. Your DHCP list should update.
