Enable The Network Access Control List, Set The Access Rule, And Allow Or Block Connected Devices - NETGEAR Nighthawk RS700 User Manual

The router detects and stores the MAC addresses of devices that connect to the network,
so it lists the MAC addresses both of devices that are currently connected and any that
were previously connected.
If you set up a network ACL that allows all new devices to connect, the following applies:
• You can either select or manually enter devices that you want to block from
connecting to the network.
• All other devices are allowed access to the network.
If you set up a network ACL that blocks all new devices from connecting, the following
applies:
• You can either select or manually enter devices that you want to allow access to the
network.
• Devices that are currently connected to the network or that were allowed to connect
in the past are automatically placed on the network ACL as allowed devices.
• All other devices are denied access to the network.
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.
Enable the network access control list, set the access rule,
and allow or block connected devices
When you enable network access control, you must select whether new devices are
automatically allowed to access the network or are blocked from accessing the network.
By default, devices that are already connected to the network are added to the ACL as
allowed, but you can choose to block one or more of these devices from accessing the
network.
To enable and manage the network access control list for the entire network and
allow or block connected devices:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
