Press and hold eject plus the FF key at the same time to get until the advanced settings (you'll have to escape the speaker test initially) . If you go under the settings in the APIM the MAC address is listed somewhere...deep but it's there.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your responses.
if you have a router that has wps it's trivial exercise to get your wpa2 password.

And the answer we really needed, sorry for the detour.

Yes, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Did this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Added the newly found MAC address to the filter list and re-enabled filtering. Now if I could just get a stronger Wi-Fi signal out to my garage area, I'd be set, but that's another matter for a different Forum.

Where is the wifi antenna on the super duties? It's possible parking in reverse could improve the signal.

Based upon my observations of connectivity or not having any, I'd say the Wi-Fi antenna is on the passenger side.

Just curious but how many are using an all in one modem/router.

I for one prefer two different devices.....Apple Extreme router and Motorola Modem.

I hope you were able to get everything working in your truck with your WiFi.

Glad to hear you got it working, sometimes you have to think creatively to get things done in IT.
