Allow or Block Access to Your Network
You can use access control to block or allow access of devices to your ne\
twork. You define 
access by selecting or specifying the MAC addresses of the wired and WiF\
i devices that can 
either access your entire network or are blocked from accessing your ent\
ire network. 
Enable and Manage Network Access Control
When you enable access control, you must select whether new devices are \
allowed to 
access the network or blocked from accessing the network. By default, cu\
rrently connected 
devices are allowed to access the network, but you can also block these \
devices from 
accessing the network.
To set up network access control:
1.  Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to\
 the network.

7.  Click the  Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
8.  Select an access rule for new devices:
• Allow all new devices to connect. With this setting, if you add a new device, it can 
access your network. 
 You do not need to enter its MAC address on this page. 
NETGEAR recommends that you leave this radio button selected.
• Block all new devices from connecting. With this setting, if you add a new device, 
before it can access your network, you must enter its MAC address for an\
 Ethernet 
connection and its MAC address for a WiFi connection in the allowed list\
. For more 
information, see  Manage Network Access Control Lists  on page
  123.
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 setting\

Manage Network Access Control Lists
You can use access control to block or allow access to your network. An access control list  (ACL) functions with the MAC addresses of wired and WiFi devices that \
can either access 
your entire network or are blocked from accessing your entire network.
The modem router can detect the MAC addresses of devices that are connec\
ted to the  network and list the MAC addresses of devices that were connected to the\
 network.
Each network device owns a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character p\
hysical address, 
containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or 
 A–F (uppercase or lowercase) only, and 
separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the 
label of the WiFi card or network interface device. If you cannot see th\
e label, you can display 
the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the compute\
r. You might also 
find the MAC addresses through the web management interface of the modem\
 router (see 
View Devices Currently on the Network on page  235).
Add Devices to or Remove Them from the Allowed List
If you set up an access list that blocks all new devices from accessing \
your network, you

Manage Simple Outbound Firewall Rules for Services and 
Applications
A firewall protects one network (the trusted network, such as your LAN) from another (the 
untrusted network, such as the Internet), while allowing communication between the two.
The modem router provides one default outbound firewall rule: It allows all access to the 
Internet (that is, the WAN). You can add simple rules to prevent access to specific services 
and applications on the Internet. In addition, you can specify if a rule applies to one user, a 
range of users, or all users on your LAN.
The modem router lists many default services and applications that you can use in outbound 
rules. You can also add an outbound firewall rule for a custom service or application.
For information about blocking specific keywords, URLs, or sites, see Use Keywords to Block 
Internet Sites on page 126. This type of blocking is another aspect of the outbound firewall.
For information about inbound firewall rules, see Manage Port Forwarding and Port 
Triggering on page
 256.
Note:Service blocking means the same thing as applying outbound firewall 
rules.
Add an Outbound Firewall Rule
You can add an outbound firewall rule to prevent access to a specific service or application 
on the Internet.
To add an outbound firewall rule:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
