Other Features

MAC Filtering

MAC filtering lets you control access to the network by allowing or disallowing specific MAC addresses to connect to the router. You can enter a list of up to twenty MAC addresses into the Router. This list is known as the Control List. By enabling MAC address control, then setting connection control settings and association control settings, you can keep your network more secure.

Connection control

Connection control lets you allow or deny connection to wired or wireless computers trying to access the Router. Enable Connection control by placing a checkmark in the box. Once you have entered a MAC address into the control table, putting a checkmark in the box under “C” will grant that computer full access to the network. Leaving the box unchecked will let the computer access the network to communicate with other wired computers, but that computer will not have Internet access or be able to communicate with wireless computers on the network. The “allow/deny” box lets you determine if computers with MAC addresses NOT in the control table are allowed access to the network and all of the resources such as Internet. Selecting “deny” will not let a computer connect unless the MAC address is in the control table.
