6.Click the Apply button.

7.To specify the access rule, select one of the following radio buttons:

•Allow all new devices to connect. With this setting, if you buy a new device, it can access your network. You don’t need to enter its MAC address in this screen. NETGEAR recommends that you leave this radio button selected.

•Block all new devices from connecting. With this setting, if you buy 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.
