Configuration with Advanced Setup

Enabling only selected PCs to access your local network

In the MAC filtering table you can enter up to 32 PCs that are allowed to access your local network. All other computers will be denied access. Access control is based on the PCs' MAC address.

◆In the Firewall menu, select MAC filtering table.

◆Activate the Yes option next to MAC Address Control so that the MAC addresses of accessing PCs are checked.

There are two ways of making entries in the MAC filtering table:

◆Enter the MAC addresses of those PCs you want to have access manually in Client PC MAC address.

◆If you have activated DHCP, all the PCs that are currently logged in will appear in the DHCP Client list at the bottom of the page. Select a PC, decide in which row of the table the entry is to appear and click on Copy to. The MAC address of the selected PC will be transferred to the table.

◆Once you have entered all the PCs you want, click on APPLY.

If you have activated the MAC address filter, you should enter at least one PC from which you can configure the router. Otherwise you will not have

!any access to the router's user interface. If you have accidentally denied router access for all the PCs, you will have to completely reset the router. To do this, hold down the reset button on the back of the router for at least five seconds.
