Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.

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.
NETGEAR recommends 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
60.
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.

Allow
button.

connected, select the check box next to the computer or device in the table, and click
either the
Allow
button or the
Block
button.

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 modem 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 web management interface of the modem router (see
View Devices Currently on the Network
on page
104).
