Network access control list

You can use the network access control list (ACL) to block or allow access to your network
and the Internet through your router. An ACL functions with the MAC addresses of WiFi
and wired devices that the router detects on the network and that you can either allow
access to your network or deny access to your network. That is, the router can detect
the MAC addresses of devices that are or were connected to the its network and list the
MAC addresses of these devices.
If you set up a network ACL with an access rule that allows access to the network, devices
on the network ACL are an exception to the access rule:
• A device for which you place the MAC address on the network ACL is denied access
to the network.
• All other devices are allowed access to the network.
If you set up a network ACL with an access rule that denies access to the network, devices
on the network ACL are an exception to the access rule:
• A device for which you place the MAC address on the network ACL is allowed access
to the network.
• All other devices are denied access to the network.
Note: Each network device has 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 a computer.
Enable the network access control list and set the access
rule
When you enable network access control, you must select whether new devices are
allowed to access the network or are blocked from accessing the network. By default,
connected devices are allowed access to the network, but you can also block these
devices from accessing the network.
To enable and manage the network access control list for the entire network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
