MAC FILTER
MAC Filtering is a firewall feature that allows you to control which devices are allowed to
access your network and use your Internet connection.
You can define up to 32 separate devices in the MAC filtering table on the router – access is
configured by entering the MAC address of the computer or device into the table or you can
select from a list of devices already connected to your router.
Once a device or number of devices has been added to the table, only those devices can
connect to the router and establish a connection through to the Internet when the MAC
Address Control setting has been enabled. Any device not on the MAC filter list will be unable
to connect to the router.
There are no default MAC filter rules created in the router.

Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
