MAC address filters
Advanced > Firewall > MAC Filter
Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. Using
MAC filters, you can allow or deny specific computers and other devices from using this
router’s wired or wireless network.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 22).
2. Click on Advanced , click on Firewall , and click on MAC Filter .
3. Add the MAC addresses to the MAC Table first before applying the MAC filter
function.
Note: MAC filter can be configured to allow access to the listed MAC address and
deny all others unlisted or vice versa. The recommended function is to choose to
only allow access to the MAC addresses listed and deny all others unlisted because it
is easier to determine the MAC addresses of devices in your network then to
determine which MAC addresses you do not want to allow access.
To simplify configuration, click the LAN clients drop-down list to select and computer or
device that is currently connected to your router. Once you have selected the computer
or device, click the
ID drop-down list to select which entry to copy the selected DHCP
client information and click Clone. You can choose a DHCP client from the drop down
list or you can manually enter the MAC/IP address information.
Note: If you are manually entering the MAC/IP address information, refer to your
computer or device documentation to find the MAC address.
4. After the MAC address (e.g. 00:11:22:AA:BB:CC) and IP address (e.g. 192.168.10.101)
information is entered, make sure the Allow option next to the entry to allow
network access for this MAC address.
5. Next to MAC Address Control at the top of the page, check the Enable option to
enable MAC filtering. Note: Please add MAC/IP address entries first before enabling.
