Missing MAC Filtering in AX72pro
Hello, it seems that the option to filter what MAC adresses can access the wifi has been deprecated? All i can find is Access control that entirely block internet access to a device. I only want to deny the connection to certain devices like in my old WA801ND AP:
- Copy Link
- Subscribe
- Bookmark
- Report Inappropriate Content
To allow access to your AP for a particular device (described by its MAC address) you should use Allow filtering rule as bellow:
You have to add all device that should have access to the AP. If you leave this table empty no device that can access your AP at all.
If you don't see the "Add New" button try with another browser or check the AP operation mode - this function is not available when the operation mode is set to Client.

Thanks for the quick reply terziyski. Maybe i wasn't clear in my explanation: In the WA801ND i'm able to do so but the problem is in my main router AX72PRO that apparently doese'nt have that feature in router mode? Is there a workaround ?

Yes, that implies all devices that are not in the router allow list would not have access to its LAN or internet.
This works just like the wireless MAC filtering but includes also any wired devices as well.

Actually that's pretty much expected - when wireless MAC filtering blocks access to your wireless network, it would block the internet access for this device as well.

I should add that my goal is to let only certain devices to connect to the main router like the other 3 AP's that i have around the house. One tplink that has mac filtering and 2x Asus that have the feature aswell. Only this router miss this feature
You can restrict which devices can access your AX72Pro WebGUI like this:
- Copy Link
- Report Inappropriate Content
