MAC Address Filters

Access > MAC Filters

Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. Using

MAC filters, you can allow or deny specific computers and other devices from using this

router’s wired or wireless network. You can enter up to 24 MAC address entries.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page

”

on page 25).

2. Click on Access, click on MAC Filters.

3. Review the MAC Filter options, click Save Settings to save settings.

Click the Configuring MAC Filtering below drop-down list to choose the MAC filter

function.

• Turn MAC Filtering OFF – disables the MAC address filter.

• Turn MAC Filtering ON and ALLOW computers listed to access the network

Only Allow computers/devices with MAC addresses listed to access the router

management page and the Internet. Deny all others. Turn MAC Filtering ON

and DENY computers listed to access the network

Only Deny computers/devices with MAC addresses listed to access to the

router management page and the Internet. Allow all others.

Note: MAC filter can be configured to allow access to the listed MAC address and deny

all others unlisted or vice versa. The recommended function is to choose to only allow

access to the MAC addresses listed and deny all others unlisted because it is easier to

determine the MAC addresses of devices in your network then to determine which MAC

addresses you do not want to allow access.

Before saving settings, add the MAC addresses to the MAC Table and configure the

options first.

• MAC Address – Check the box next to the entry to enable and in the empty

field, enter the MAC address of the devices you would like to filter.

(e.g. 00:11:22:AA:BB:CC)

• DHCP Client List – Click the drop-down list to select from the list of client

devices connected to your router. Once selected, click << to copy the MAC

address of the selected device to MAC Address field.

• New Schedule: Click the drop-down list to select the pre-defined schedule to

apply. The filter will only be active during the time period defined in the pre-

defined schedule. (See “Create Schedule

” section on page 35).

Note: Before applying scheduling, please ensure your Time settings are

configured correct and you have defined a schedule. See page 34 to configure

Time Settings and see page 35 to create a schedule.

Note: If you device is not listed, please refer to your computer or device documentation

to find the MAC address.
