Access Control
The Access Control section allows you to control access in and out of devices on
your network. Use this feature as Parental Controls to only grant access to
approved sites, limit web access based on time or dates, and/or block access
from applications such as peer-to-peer utilities or games.
When Access Control is disabled, every device on the LAN has unrestricted access
to the Internet. However, if you enable Access Control, Internet access is
restricted for those devices that have an Access Control Policy configured for
them. All other devices have unrestricted access to the Internet.
