Question
How do I restrict devices from connecting to the Internet on my SBR-AC3200P? 
Answer
The SBR-AC3200P includes MAC Filtering option to define up to twenty Media Access Control (MAC) address filters to prevent devices from sending outgoing TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN via their MAC addresses.  This option is useful because the MAC address of specific Network Interface Card (NIC) never changes.  Unlike IP addresses, they can be assigned by the DHCP server or hard-coded to various address.  MAC Address Filtering is disabled by default.  This document describes how to enable MAC Filtering.
 
To Enable MAC Filtering
  1. Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.  Enter http://192.168.0.1 into the address box, and press the Enter key.  The Login page appears.

    NOTE: By default the LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1.  If the default address has been changed, enter the custom address in the address box.
