Allowing your phone access through your wireless security.

One of the better ways of securing your wireless router is to limit access to known MAC addresses.
So if you want your telephone to be able to access your router you'll need to register its MAC address within the router's 'allowed' list.

To find out what your mobile phone's MAC address is (Australians at least),
enter *#62209526# or *#MAC WLAN#
