4. Select ADVANCED > Security > Access Control.
The Access Control page displays.
5. Select the Turn on Access Control check box.
You must select this check box before you can specify an access rule and use the
ALLOW and BLOCK buttons. When the Turn on Access Control check box is cleared,
all devices are allowed to connect, even if a device is in the list of blocked devices.
Note: If you enabled one or more MAC ACLs (see Enable a MAC ACL for a specific
network on page 54), you cannot use the ALLOW and BLOCK buttons. MAC ACLs
and the network access control list are mutually exclusive. Use either MAC ACLs or
the network access control list.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
7. Select an access rule for new devices:
• Allow all new devices to connect: With this setting, if you add a new device, it
can access the Orbi network. You do not need to enter its MAC address on this
page. We recommend that you leave this radio button selected.
• Block all new devices from connecting: With this setting, if you add a new
device, before it can access the Orbi network, you must enter its MAC address
for an Ethernet connection and its MAC address for a WiFi connection in the
allowed list. For more information, see .
The access rule does not affect previously blocked or allowed devices. It applies
only to devices joining the Orbi network in the future after you apply these settings.
8. To manage access for devices that are connected or were connected to the Orbi
network, do the following:
• If you blocked all new devices from connecting, to allow the device that you are
currently using to continue to access the Orbi network, select the check box next
to your computer or device in the table, and click the ALLOW button.
• To either continue to allow or to block other computers and devices that are
connected or were connected, select the check box next to the device in the table,
and click either the ALLOW button or the BLOCK button.
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
