is easier to determine the MAC addresses of devices in your network then to

determine which MAC addresses you do not want to allow access.

•

Mac Address:

Enter the Mac address you would like to apply on the filter mode.

Note:

You can check the DHCP Client List for the MAC addresses of the devices on

your network, see page 56 or refer to your computer or device documentation to

find the MAC address.

Wireless MAC Filters

Wireless > Security

Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. Using

MAC filters, you can allow or deny specific computers and other devices from using this

router’s wireless network.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 26).

2. Click on

network, web management, and the Internet

Note:

MAC filter can be configured to allow access to the listed MAC address and

deny all others unlisted or vice versa. The recommended function is to choose to

only allow access to the MAC addresses listed and deny all others unlisted because it

is easier to determine the MAC addresses of devices in your network then to

determine which MAC addresses you do not want to allow access.

On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control)

address. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a

computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is already

registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a

new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered

MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC

address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the

modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and

manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature.

Note:

For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, typically, the

stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you restart the modem. If you are

installing this router for the first time, turn your modem before connecting the router to

your modem. To clear your modem stored MAC address, typically the procedure is to

disconnect power from the modem for approximately one minute, then reconnect the

power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your modem’s User Guide/Manual or

contact your ISP.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 26).

2. Click on

Network

, and click on

WAN Settings

.

3. Next to MAC Address field. Enter the MAC address of your computer.

Change your router IP address

Network > LAN Setting

In most cases, you do not need to change your router IP address settings. Typically, the

router IP address settings only needs to be changed, if you plan to use another router in

your network with the same IP address settings, if you are connecting your router to an

existing network that is already using the IP address settings your router is using, or if

you are experiencing problems establishing VPN connections to your office network

through your router.

Note:

If you are not encountering any issues or are not faced with one of the cases

described above or similar, it is recommended to keep your router IP address settings as

default.

Default Router IP Address: 192.168.10.1

Default Router Network: 192.168.10.0 / 255.255.255.0

Set up the DHCP server on your router

Network > LAN Setting

Your router can be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to

automatically assign an IP address to each computer or device on your network. The

DHCP server is enabled by default on your router. If you already have a DHCP server on

your network, or if you do not want to use your router as a DHCP server, you can disable

this setting. It is recommended to leave this setting enabled.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 26).

2. Click on

Network

Note:

The Start IP and End IP specify the range of IP addresses to automatically

•

DHCP Lease Time

– Click the drop-down list to select the lease time.

Note:

The DHCP lease time is the amount of time a computer or device can keep

an IP address assigned by the DHCP server. When the lease time expires, the

computer or device will renew the IP address lease with the DHCP server,

otherwise, if there is no attempt to renew the lease, the DHCP server will

reallocate the IP address to be assigned to another computer or device.
