Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Manage Network Access Control Lists You can use access control to block or allow access to your network. An access control list (ACL) functions with the MAC addresses of wired and WiFi devices that can either access your entire network or are blocked from accessing your entire network. The router can detect the MAC addresses of devices that are connected to the network and list the MAC addresses of devices that were connected to the network. 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 the WiFi card or network interface device. If you cannot see the label, you can display the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find the MAC addresses through the router web interface (see View Devices Currently on the Network on page 147). Add Devices to or Remove Them From the Allowed List If you set up an access list that blocks all new devices from accessing your network, you must specify which devices are allowed to access your network. To add or remove devices that are allowed: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
