Manage network access control lists
You can use access control to block or allow device access to your network. An access
control list (ACL) functions with the MAC addresses of wired and mobile devices that
can either access your entire network or are blocked from accessing your entire network.
The 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 a 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 of devices that are connected to the router on the Access Control
page of the local browser interface (see Add a device to or remove it from the allowed
list on page 52 and Add a device to or remove it from the blocked list on page 53).
Add a device to or remove it 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 a device that is allowed:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2.
Enter https://www.routerlogin.net.
Your browser might display a security message, which you can ignore. For more
information, see Log in to the local browser interface on page 16.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. If you didn’t change the password, enter password. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Firewall > Access Control.
The Access Control page displays.
5.
Click the View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network
link.
A table displays the detected device name, MAC address, and connection type of
the devices that are not connected but allowed to access the network.
