5.1 Access Control

Use the Access Control sub-menu you to control access in and out
of your network. Use this feature as Parental Controls to only grant
access to approved sites, limit web access based on time or dates,
and/or block access from applications like P2P utilities or games.
By default, the Access Control feature is disabled. If you enable
Access Control, every device on the LAN must either have a static
IP address (that is one that is not in the DHCP range) or must be in
the Static DHCP Client List (see Basic → DHCP sub-menu.
When Access Control is disabled, every device on the WLAN is
permitted to access the Internet. However, if you enable Access
Control, every device on the WLAN that needs to access the
Internet must have an Access Control rule that explicitly permits it to
access the Internet. Devices that do not have an Access Control
Rule cannot access the Internet.
Access Control
5.1.1
The Policy Wizard guides you through the steps of defining each
access control policy. A policy is the "Who, What, When, and How"
of access control -- whose computer will be affected by the control,
what internet addresses are controlled, when will the control be in
effect, and how is the control implemented. You can define multiple
policies. The Policy Wizard starts when you click the button below
and also when you edit an existing policy.
Enable Access Control. Click the Enable Access Control button
to display the Add New Policy wizard.
5.1.2 Add New Policy
Step 1: Choose Policy Name. Create a name for this access
control policy that is meaningful to you. Typically this would be a
system name or user name such as Rob's PC.
