The filtering rules just configured should look similar to the following list:
If you select the radio button Allow the stations not specified by any enabled entries in the
list to access for Filtering Rules, the wireless station B will still not be able to access the
router, however, other wireless stations that are not in the list will be able to access the router.
If you enable the function and select the Deny the stations not specified by any enabled
entries in the list to access for Filtering Rules, and there are not any enabled entries in the
