Setting Client IP Filters

The router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail, or other network
services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single computer, a range of
computers, or multiple computers.

To restrict Internet access to a single computer:

1 Open the Firewall > Client IP filters page, then enter the IP address of the computer you

wish to restrict access to in the IP fields.

2 Enter 80 in both the port fields, select Both, then select Block. You can also select

Always to block access all of the time.

3 Select the day to start on top, the time to start on top, the day to end on the bottom,

and the time to stop on the bottom.

4 Select Enable, then click Apply Changes. The computer at the IP address you

specified will now be blocked from Internet access at the times you specified. Be sure
you have selected the correct time zone under Utilities> System Settings> Time
Zone
.

Setting MAC Address Filtering

The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which
computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access the network that
is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you enable this feature, you must
enter the MAC address of each client (computer) on your network to allow network access to
each.

To set MAC Address Filtering:

1 Open the Firewall > MAC Address filters page, then click Enable MAC Address

Filtering.

2 Enter the MAC address of each computer on your network by clicking in the space

provided and entering the MAC address of the computer you want to add to the list.
