Hi Douglas,

Do you want to limit the number of clients connecting to the SSID or AP?

The option is available on the Access Points >> Click on WLAN Group >> Model Specific >> Max clients allowed.

For the SSID Wireless LANs >> Advanced Option >> Max Clients. This is Max clients per AP radio to associate with the SSID.

Check out the below link for your reference.

Let me know if the requirement is something else.

I'm referring limit number device/devices associating to SSID itself. Eg: Company A have 50 staff. Limit it only to 50 of company A laptops. No mobile device is allowed to access. Something like access control.

Hi Douglas,

I believe the L2 ACL should do the job. You can create a L2 ACL with the list of client MAC which you want to allow and call it on the WLAN.
You can broadcast these SSIDs on the APs you want, which will allow only the clients listed.

Refer the below link for the MAC ACL configuration.

I am filtering by OS for this purpose. I only allow Windows and MacOS, this iOS and Android are left out.

for filter by OS there is no limitation, but the ZD has to be able to recognize the OS. We had some trouble when windows 10 came out because the ZD did not see it as Windows. I think there is a limitation on how many MAC addresses can be stored in the internal databases. The exact number is in the help files. I don't know it by heart, but it is in the low hundreds.

Hi Victor,

MAC ACL has a limit of 128 entries.
