MAC filtering
Network > Firewall > MAC Filtering
Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. MAC
filtering allows you to restrict access to the Internet to specific MAC addresses on your
network. MAC filtering in this section applies to both wired and wireless devices. To
create MAC filtering rules on your wireless network only, go to the
Wireless Settings
section under MAC-filter. You can check the current MAC addresses of devices
connected to your router under Status > Overview under the DHCP leases section.
