Network access control list

You can use the network access control list (ACL) on the router to block or allow access
to your network and the Internet. The ACL identifies a WiFi or wired device by its MAC
address. The router detects the MAC addresses of the devices on the network and either
allows or denies access.
The router detects and stores the MAC addresses of devices that connect to the network,
so it lists the MAC addresses both of devices that are currently connected and any that
were previously connected.
If you set up a network ACL that allows all new devices to connect, the following applies:
• You can either select or manually enter devices that you want to block from
connecting to the network.
• All other devices are allowed access to the network.
If you set up a network ACL that blocks all new devices from connecting, the following
