IP Filtering allows you to block access to the Internet based on a specific IP address. You can
specify a single IP address or a range of IP addresses. Although not required, we recommend
that IP Filtering be used on Local Area Networks that use Static IP Addresses. With DHCP (i.e. IP
addresses that change), you would need to re-configure your IP Filtering settings every time your
devices received new IP Addresses. This will happen every time a device is rebooted or if there is
a power outage.
