Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -MAC Address Filtering Provides No Security But MAC addresses can be easily spoofed in many operating systems, so any device could pretend to have one of those allowed, unique MAC addresses. MAC addresses are easy to get, too.
Detailed explanation-2: -MAC filtering is an access-control-based security approach. Each address is given a 48-bit address, and it is used to determine whether we can access a network or not. It assists in listing a collection of allowed devices you require on your Wi-Fi and a list of disallowed devices you do not want on your Wi-Fi.
