Operation

Blocked versus MAC Filter

The interaction between the "Blocked" devices and the "MAC Filter" is:

• Blocked devices are always blocked from the Wi-Fi network, regardless of whether the MAC Filter is on or off.
• If the MAC Filter is on, and a device is in the Blocked list, but not in the MAC Address Filter list, then it will not be able to connect.
• Both the MAC Filter and the Block would prevent connection.
• If the MAC Filter is on, and a device is in the MAC Address Filter list, then the device will be able to connect. Having connected, it can then be blocked either by removing it from the MAC Address Filter list, or by using the "Block" feature. Generally, the "Block" should be used for temporary blocking, and the MAC Filter for permanent blocking.
