Explanation
MAC (Media Access Control) filtering is the easiest method to restrict network access to exactly two computers. Each network adapter has a unique hardware MAC address. By configuring the router's allowlist with only the MAC addresses of the two permitted devices, all other devices are blocked from associating with the network-even if they have the correct Wi-Fi password. Static IP addressing (B) does not prevent other DHCP-enabled devices from connecting; it only assigns fixed addresses to known clients. MAC filtering directly and simply enforces a device count limit.
