Access Rule (MAC/IP Filter)
Basic > Parental Control
Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. Every
network device must be assigned or configured with a specific IP address in order to
communicate with your network which is typically assigned by your router DHCP server
automatically. Using access rules, you can deny specific computers and other devices
from using this router’s wired or wireless network by specifying the MAC address or IP
address.
1. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page
on page 10).
2. Click on Basic, click on Parental Control.
3. Check Enable to enable the access rule.
4. Enter a Computer Name.
Note: If the network device is connected to your router, you can also click the drop-down
list to choose one of the network devices (MAC Address/IP Address) detected by your
router.
5. Select which Address Type to apply the filter. (MAC Address or IP Address)
Note: If you device is not listed, please refer to your computer or device documentation
to find the MAC address.
6. If the MAC or IP address was not copied by selecting the Host Name from the drop-
down list in Step 4, manually enter the MAC Address or IP Address in the field.
Otherwise, move on to the next step.
7. Schedule – The schedule function allows you to define a schedule when the access
should be allowed for the specified device MAC address or IP address. To define a new
schedule, in the Schedule section, click Define and a table will appear to define the time
slots when access is allowed for that specific device MAC or IP address. Note: Before
defining a schedule, please ensure your Time settings are configured correctly. See page
