Hello,

I got reply from team. 

AP drops all packets for a STA unless the MAC is in the allow_list, no special thing needs to be done from STA, it's purely an AP feature where the network administrator configures the MAC address lists on the AP, managing which devices are permitted or blocked from accessing the network.

Hi Kazi,

Thanks for your reply.  I am confident that our module's MAC adress is in the list on the AP. It seems that the MAC-authentication is not just for AP to have a white MAC address list and drop all the packet not relevant.

Please could some one from Nordic have an investigation on this topic.Here is link of the H3C AP which is very common in parblic facilities.

H3C WA6526 New Generation Access Point-H3C
