MAC Filter / Logging
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier for a computer or other device. This page allows you to manage clients by MAC address. You can filter clients by
MAC addresses and/or keep a log of devices connected to your router.
Filter Configuration
The MAC Filter allows you to create a list of devices that have either exclusive access (whitelist) or no access (blacklist) to your local network.
Enabled
: Click to allow MAC Filter options.
Whitelist
: Select either “Whitelist” or “Blacklist” from a dropdown menu. In "Whitelist" mode, the router will restrict LAN access to all computers except those contained in
the "MAC Filter List" panel. In “Blacklist” mode, listed devices are completely blocked from local network access.
MAC Filter List (Whitelist or Blacklist)
: Add devices to either your whitelist or blacklist simply by inputting each device’s MAC address.
NOTE: Use caution when using the MAC Filter to avoid accidentally blocking yourself from accessing the router.
MAC Logging Configuration
Enable MAC Logging
: Enabling MAC Logging will cause the router to log MAC addresses that are connected to the router. MAC addresses that you do not want to have
logged (addresses that you expect to be connected) should be added to the “Ignored MAC Addresses” list.
You can configure the router to send an alert if a connected device has a MAC address that the router doesn’t recognize. Go to
System Settings
→
Device Alerts
to set
up these email alerts.
