MAC address filters
Access > Filter > MAC Filters
Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. Using
MAC filters, you can allow only known MAC addresses to connect your network and
deny all other unknown MAC addresses from connecting to your network.
Note: Denied MAC addresses will not be able to communicate to your wired or wireless
devices, connect to your router management page, or access the Internet.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on
page 26 ).
2. Click on Access , click on Filter , and click on MAC Filters .
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.
