Enable The Network Access Control List And Specify The Access Rule - NETGEAR SXR80 User Manual

Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite SXR80
Note: Each network device owns a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical
address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F (uppercase or lowercase)
only, and separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC
address is on the label of a device. If you cannot see the label, you can display the MAC
address using the network configuration utilities of a computer. You might also find the
MAC addresses on Attached Devices page of the router (see View satellites, WiFi devices,
and wired devices connected to the Orbi network on page 127).
Enable the network access control list and specify the access
rule
When you enable network access control, you must select whether new devices are
allowed to access the Orbi network or are blocked from accessing the network. By
default, connected devices are allowed access to the Orbi network, but you can also
block these devices from accessing the Orbi network.
To enable and manage the network access control list for the entire Orbi network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Security > Access Control.
The Access Control page displays.
5. Select the Turn on Access Control check box.
You must select this check box before you can specify an access rule and use the
ALLOW and BLOCK buttons. When the Turn on Access Control check box is cleared,
all devices are allowed to connect, even if a device is in the list of blocked devices.
Note: If you enabled one or more MAC ACLs (see Enable a MAC ACL for a specific
network on page 48), you cannot use the ALLOW and BLOCK buttons. MAC ACLs
and the network access control list are mutually exclusive. Use either MAC ACLs or
the network access control list.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
