MAC Filtering
The MAC Filter allows you to create a list of devices that have either exclusive access (whitelist) or no access (blacklist) to your local network.

Enabled: Click to allow MAC Filter options.
Whitelist: Select either "Whitelist" or "Blacklist" from a dropdown menu. In "Whitelist" mode, the router will restrict LAN access to all computers
except those contained in the "MAC Filter List" panel. In "Blacklist" mode, listed devices are completely blocked from local network access.

MAC Logging
Enable
MAC Logging: Enabling MAC Logging will cause the router to log MAC addresses that are connected to the router. MAC addresses that
you do not want to have logged (addresses that you expect to be connected) should be added to the "Ignored MAC Addresses" list.
You can configure the router to send an alert if a connected device has a MAC address that the router doesn't recognize. Go to System
Settings
>
Device
Alerts to set up these email alerts.
Ignored
MAC Addresses: This is the list of MAC addresses that will not produce an alert or a log entry when they are connected to the router.
These should be MAC addresses that you expect to be connected to the router. To add MAC addresses to this list, simply select devices shown
in the MAC Address Log and click "Ignore." You can also add addresses manually.
MAC Address
Log: This shows the last 64 MAC addresses that have connected to the router, as well as which interface was used to connect. The
time/date that is logged is the time of the first connection. The page may need to be refreshed to show the most recent log entries.
Double-clicking on entries from this list will add them to the Ignored
MAC Addresses list.
