 Q：Why we need to set the MAC address Filter?

The steps are as below:

1. You should know the MAC address of the computers which you want to limit to access the Internet. You can check them on the computers with command prompt. Click StartàRun. Type cmd and press Enter.

Type ipconfig /all at the prompt window, press Enter, it will show the MAC address and other address information of this computer.

2. Login to the management page of the router.
