i’m trying to setup MAC filter for all of my network devices to MAC filter mode ACCEPT. Now do I have to add MAC addresses of all the wireless devices for all three bands individually because under basic config option band has 2.4G, 5G-1, 5G-2. Or just add the MAC addresses under any one of these bands that will take care for all bands to recognize selected devices.
Second question is how to MAC filter of wired devices? I don’t see any option for wired devices MAC filter.
 
You have to setup the filter lists for each band individually.

You can't setup filter lists for wired devices, it's a wireless feature.

But i was able to set up on DLink routers. Is there any other way to block the wired devices from network which are not in my static IP list?

No. With Merlin's firmware you could create a customised dnsmasq config that only gave out addresses for devices in your list, but that wouldn't stop someone from manually configuring their IP address and connecting to your network.

Unplug the network cable? :)

A dnsmasq sounds like an option. I think the real question is what are you really trying to protect here? MACs and IPs can be altered manually so are you fooling yourself with a false sense of security?
