14.4 MAC Filter

Click Wireless > MAC Filter to open the MAC Filter screen. This screen allows you to configure
the VDSL Router to give exclusive access to specific devices (Allow) or exclude specific devices
from accessing the VDSL Router (Deny). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access
Control) address assigned at the factory. It consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for
example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC addresses of the devices to configure this
screen.
