MAC filtering
Security > Firewall > MAC Filtering
Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. MAC
filtering allows you to restrict access to the Internet to specific MAC addresses on your
network. MAC filtering in this section applies to both wired and wireless devices. To
create MAC filtering rules on your wireless network only, go to the
section under MAC-filter. You can check the current MAC addresses of devices
connected to your router under Status > Overview under the DHCP leases section.
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 6).
2. Click on Security, click on Firewall, and click on the MAC Filtering tab.
3. Check the Enable option to enable MAC filtering and select Mode.
Note: Please make sure to add the MAC addresses in the list first before clicking Apply.

Denial of service (DoS) prevention
Security > Firewall > DoS Prevention
The router supports prevention against common denial of service (DoS) attacks.
Malicious users use denial of service attacks to temporarily or permanently disrupt the
availability of services from network resource such as your router. Typically, DoS attacks
are achieved by flooding a specific network resource by excessively sending unnecessary
requests which can cause the network device or resource to stop functioning.
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 6).
2. Click on Network, click on Firewall, and click on the DoS Prevention tab.
3. Review the settings below. When complete, Apply to save and commit your changes.
Choose the DoS prevention type to enable, TCP SYN flood, UDP flood, or ICMP flood.
•
Enable – Check this option to enable DoS prevention.
