ADVANCED – MAC FILTERS
MAC filters are used to block or allow various types of packets through the WAN interface. This may
be done for security or to improve network efficiency. The rules are configured for individual
devices based on MAC address. Filter rules can be set up for source, destination or both. You can set
up filter rules and disable the entire set of rules without loosing the rules that have been
configured. Configure the MAC filter rules as desired and click the Apply button to create the rule.
