Network access control list

You can use the network access control list (ACL) to block or allow access to the entire
Orbi network. An ACL functions with the MAC addresses of WiFi and wired devices that
the router detects on the Orbi network and that you can either allow access to your
network or deny access to your network. That is, the router can detect the MAC addresses
of devices that are or were connected to the Orbi network and list the MAC addresses
of these devices.
Note: The network access control list differs from a MAC ACL (see MAC access control
lists on page 52). A MAC ACL is specific to a particular WiFi network or to the wired
network but is not based on devices that the router detects on the entire Orbi network.
With a MAC ACL, you can allow or deny access to a device on a specific WiFi network
or the wired network. The network access control list and MAC ACLs are mutually
exclusive. Use either the network access control list or MAC ACLs.
