Block specific Internet sites [router mode]

If the AP is in router mode, you can block keywords and domains (websites) to prevent
certain types of HTTP traffic from accessing your network. Keyword and domain blocking
does not work for HTTPS traffic.
By default, keyword blocking is disabled and no domains are blocked.
Note: The information in this section and subsections does not apply if the AP is in
access point mode.

Set up keyword and domain blocking [router mode]

You can set up blocking of specific keywords and domains to occur continuously or
according to a schedule.
To set up keyword and domain blocking:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to a WiFi
network or LAN port on the AP.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Find the IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 32.
