If using mac filters it seems the site survey filters out every thing too :¬)

That's normal, a known feature. Site survey won't show anything if mac filter is enabled.

plus who uses mac filters these days , mac filtering is about as useful as locking the screen door and leaving the keys on the outside

mac filtering does not add to security and its useless as an access control method

Thanks for the info both of you :¬) appreciated

I actually did it to stop people auto connecting to wifi with their phone as they walk by my home

I would see a continuous stream of attempted connections popping up on my pc network tab and it was annoying me hehehe

etc etc etc

I doubt it was nothing malicious just walk by drive by traffic but still after limiting to the mac filter they don't show because they don't even get to 1st base
