Nighthawk X6S AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi Router Model R7900P After you set up and enable Parental Controls, you can change the web filtering level for each device on the network through the network map page of the genie app. Allow or Block Access to Your Network You can use access control to block or allow access of devices to your network. You define access by selecting or specifying the MAC addresses of the wired and WiFi devices that either can access your entire network or are blocked from accessing your entire network. Enable and Manage Network Access Control When you enable access control, you must select whether new devices are allowed to access the network or are blocked from accessing the network. By default, currently connected devices are allowed to access the network, but you can also block these devices from accessing the network. To set up network access control: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. 3. Enter the router user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Security > Access Control. The Access Control window 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. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. 7. Select an access rule for new devices: • Allow all new devices to connect. With this setting, if you add a new device, it can access your network. You do not need to enter its MAC address on this page. We recommend that you leave this radio button selected. • Block all new devices from connecting. With this setting, if you add a new device, before it can access your network, you must enter its MAC address for an Ethernet connection and its MAC address for a WiFi connection in the allowed list. For more information, see Manage Network Access Control Lists on page 48. The access rule does not affect previously blocked or allowed devices. It applies only to devices joining your network in the future after you apply these settings. 8.
