Manage Network Access Control Lists

You can use access control to block or allow access to your network. An access control list (ACL) functions

from accessing your entire network.
The router can detect the MAC addresses of devices that are connected to the network and list the MAC
addresses of devices that were connected to the network.

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 the WiFi card or network

utilities of the computer. You might also find the MAC addresses through the web pages of the router (see
