Nighthawk AXE7300 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Model RAXE290 allowed, but you can choose to block one or more of these devices from accessing the network. To enable and manage the network access control list for the entire network and allow or block connected devices: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. 3. Enter the router 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 select 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 on the list of blocked devices. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Network access control is enabled. 7. Select an access rule to apply to new devices: • Allow all new devices to connect: With this setting, if you connect a new device to the network, it can access the network. You do not need to enter its MAC address on this page. This option works for most home networks. You can also block one or more devices from accessing the network. For more information, see the following step. • Block all new devices from connecting: With this setting, if you want to allow a new device to connect, you must enter its MAC address on this page. (In this situation, a new device is a device that was not previously connected to the network.) For more information about allowing one or more devices, see the following step. If you block all new devices from connecting, the device that you are currently using to connect to the router web interface, any other devices that are currently connected to the network, and all devices that were allowed to connect to the network in the past are still allowed access. That means that these devices are automatically added to the network ACL as allowed devices. If you want to block any of these devices, see the following step.
