Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System with MR70 router and MS70 satellite
• Devices that are currently connected to the network or that were allowed to connect
in the past are automatically placed on the network ACL as allowed devices.
• All other devices are denied access to the network.
Note: Each network device has a MAC address that serves as a unique identifier. The
MAC address is a 12-character physical 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 a device. If you cannot
see the label, you can display the MAC address using the network configuration utilities
on your computer or mobile device.
Enable the network access control list, set the access rule,
and allow or block connected devices
When you enable network access control, you must select whether new devices are
automatically allowed to access the network or are blocked from accessing the network.
By default, devices that are already connected to the network are added to the ACL as
allowed, but you can choose to block one or more of these devices from accessing the
network.
To enable and manage the network access control list for the entire network and
allow or block connected devices:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Security > Access Control.
The Access Control page displays.
5. Select the Turn on Access Control check box.
You must select this check box before you can select an access rule and use the
Allow and Block buttons. When the Turn on Access Control check box is cleared, all
devices are allowed to connect, even if a device is on the list of blocked devices.
