•
Allow all new devices to connect. With this setting, if you buy a new device, it
can access your network. You don’t need to enter its MAC address on this page.
We recommend that you leave this radio button selected.

Block all new devices from connecting. With this setting, if you buy a new
device, before it can access your network, you must enter its MAC address for
an Ethernet connection and its MAC address for a WiFi connection in the allowed
list.
The access rule does not affect previously blocked or allowed devices. It applies
only to devices joining your network in the future after you apply these settings.

Orbi network.

A login window opens.
