You do so by adding the MAC addresses of these devices to the allowed list. You can
also change or remove a device from the allowed list.
To add, remove, or change a device on the allowed list:
1.
Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP in one of the following ways:
•
Connect directly to the AP’s WiFi network or LAN. (Applies to the AP in either
operation mode.)
•
Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to. (Applies only if the AP
is operating in AP mode.)
2.
Launch a web browser and enter routerlogin.net in the address field.
Instead, if you are connected to same network as the AP, enter the LAN IP address
that is assigned to the AP. For information about finding the IP address, see Find the
IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 36.
The Local Device Login page displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you set. The local device password is
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Security > Access Control.
The Access Control page displays.
5.
If the table with allowed devices does not display, 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.
6.
To add a device to the allowed list, do the following:
a. Click the Add button.
The Add Allowed Device page displays.
