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, select the
access rule as “Allow” or “Deny”�
Then, enter the MAC address of each computer on your network by
selecting from the “DHCP Client List” drop-down box (2) and the ID to
copy to (3) before clicking “Copy to”� As an alternative method, click in
the space provided (4) and enter the MAC address of the computer you
want to add to the list� 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)�
