Setting Client IP Filters
The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail, or other
network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single
computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.
To restrict Internet access to a single computer for example, enter the IP address
of the computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP fields (1). Next, enter
“88” in both the port fields (2). Select “Both”(3). Select “Block” (4). You can
also select “Always” to block access all of the time. Select the day to start on
top (5), the time to start on top (6), the day to end on the bottom (7), and
the time to stop (8) on the bottom. Select “Enable” (9). Click “Apply Changes”.
The computer at the IP address you specified will now be blocked from Internet
access at the times you specified. Note: Be sure you have selected the correct
time zone under “Utilities> System Settings> Time Zone”.
Setting MAC Address Filtering
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify
which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to
access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access.
When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client
(computer) on your network to allow network access to each. The “Block”
feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer
without having to add and remove the computer’s MAC address from the list.
To enable this feature, select “Enable MAC Address Filtering” (1). Next, enter the
MAC address of each computer on your network by clicking in the space provided
(2) and entering the MAC address of the computer you want to add to the list.
Click “Add” (3), then “Apply Changes” to save the settings. To delete a MAC
address from the list, simply click “Delete” next to the MAC address you wish to
delete. Click “Apply Changes” to save the settings.
Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are using
to access the Router's administrative functions (the computer you are
using now).
