MAC address filtering operates at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI model. Implementing MAC address filtering requires the device (Shopify POS Go) to have configurable network interface settings allowing restriction of network access based on the MAC address of connecting devices. Insufficient firmware support or a simplified network interface can limit this functionality.
Always perform Safe Handling (unplugging) of the Shopify POS Go before any cable adjustments. Avoid operating the device in areas with high static electricity, especially during dry winter months. Do not attempt to open the device enclosure, as it may trigger anti-tamper mechanisms and void the warranty.
Consider using a Wi-Fi analyzer app on a separate device to check for signal strength and potential interference sources. Position the Shopify POS Go and the network router to minimize obstructions that could attenuate the Wi-Fi signal. Power-cycle the device before troubleshooting software issues.
