Chapter 5 Configuring the Router’s Security
Website Blocking
The Router can be configured to block specific websites, preventing access to them
from computers on the local network. Restrictions can also be applied to a com-
prehensive, automatically updated table of sites to which access is not recommend-
ed. To view the table of websites currently being blocked, select Website Blocking
in any Security screen. To activate website blocking, click in the “Enable Website
Blocking” check box.
To add a new website to the table:
1. Click Add. The “Blocked Website” screen appears.
2. Enter the website’s address (IP or URL). All pages within the website will also be
blocked. If the website address has multiple IP addresses, the Router will resolve
all additional addresses and automatically add them to the restrictions table.
3. To apply website blocking to a single computer or group of computers on the
network, select them from the “Networked Computer/Device” drop-down list.
