Enable The Network Access Control List, Set The Access Rule, And Allow Or Block Connected Devices - NETGEAR RAX5 User Manual

Note: Each network device has a MAC address that serves as a unique identifier. The
MAC address is a 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
on your computer or mobile device.

allowed, but you can choose to block one or more of these devices from accessing the
network.
