check box.
You must select this check box before you can specify an access rule and use the

buttons. When this check box is cleared, all devices are allowed
to connect, even if a device is in the blocked list.
6. Select an access rule:
• Allow all new devices to connect
. With this setting, if you add a new device, it
can access your network. You don’t need to enter its MAC address on this page.
We recommend that you leave this radio button selected.
• Block all new devices from connecting
. With this setting, if you add a new device,
before it can access your network, you must enter its MAC address for an Ethernet
connection and its MAC address for a WiFi connection in the allowed list.
The access rule does not affect previously blocked or allowed devices. It applies
only to devices joining your network in the future after you apply these settings.
7. To view allowed or blocked devices that are not connected, click one of the following
links:
