6.4 Controlling the Internet Access Rights of PCs
Function Overview
You can prohibit certain PCs from accessing the Internet or allow only certain PCs to
access the Internet. In addition, you can set the period during which the PCs are not
allowed to access the Internet.
Through the MAC address filtering function of the router, the preceding requirements
can be met after you enter the MAC addresses of the PCs to be controlled.
The MAC address filtering function can be implemented in the following modes:
z
Blacklist: The PCs whose MAC addresses are listed in the filtering list are prohibited
from accessing the Internet.
z
Whitelist: The PCs whose MAC addresses are listed in the filtering list are allowed
to access the Internet.
You can select either of the preceding modes for the MAC address filtering function.
The MAC address filtering function controls the option of allowing a PC connected to the
router to access the Internet. The wireless MAC filtering function controls the option of
allowing a PC to be connected to the router through a wireless network.
Configuration Example
For example, you have bought a PC for your child who is in a primary school. To restrict
the Internet access period of the child to from 19:00 to 20:00 in each evening and to
protect your PC from being restricted, you can use the blacklist mode of the MAC
address filtering function.
Suppose the MAC address of the PC of your child is
00:11:09:11:04:DD
.
