Access Control

Use access control to allow or block access to your network by computers and electronic

devices. When a device is blocked, it is able to get an IP address from your router, but it is not

able to communicate with other devices, nor is it able to connect to the Internet.



To set up access control:

1.

Log in to the router as described in

Log In to Your Router

on page 17.

2.

From the main menu, select

Advanced > Access Control

.

The following settings are available:

a.

To enable access control, select the

Turn on Access Control

check box.

Selecting this check box lets you control access to your network by computers and

electronic devices. You have to select this check box before you can specify an

access rule and use the Allow and Block buttons. When this check box is cleared, all

devices are allowed to connect, even if a device is in the blocked list.

b.

Select the Access Rule radio button for the access rule that you want to apply to

new devices that are attempting to connect to your network.

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. By default,

the Allow all new devices to connect radio button is selected so that when you or your

family buys a new device, the device is able to access your network without the need

for you to configure its MAC address in this screen.

Verizon recommends that you keep this option selected. If you change this setting to

the Block all new devices from connecting radio button, your new device is not able to

access your network until you add its MAC address to the allowed list. For example, if
