Manage Network Access Control Lists
You can use access control to block or allow access to your network. An access control list (ACL) functions
with the MAC addresses of wired and WiFi devices that can either access your entire network or are
blocked from accessing your entire network.
The modem router can detect the MAC addresses of devices that are connected to the network and list
the MAC addresses of devices that were connected to the network.
Each network device owns a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address, containing
the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F (uppercase or lowercase) only, and separated by colons
(for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01).Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the WiFi card or network
interface device. If you cannot see the label, you can display the MAC address using the network
configuration utilities of the computer.You might also find the MAC addresses through the web management
interface of the modem router (see View Devices Currently on the Network on page 251).
Add Devices to or Remove Them from the Allowed List
If you set up an access list that blocks all new devices from accessing your network, you must specify
which devices are allowed to access your network.
To add or remove devices that are allowed:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
4. Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5. Select ADVANCED > Security > Access Control.
6. Click the View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network link.
