IP Filtering
The IP Filtering page allows you to configure IP address filters in order to block specific
network devices on your LAN from accessing the Internet. By entering starting and
ending IP address ranges, you can configure which local PCs are denied access to the
WAN.
We recommend assigning a static IP address to your computer when using IP Filtering.
By default, the Cable Modem/Router uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. DHCP does
not guarantee that your computer will be assigned the same IP address. When assigning
a static IP address to your computer you should select an address that is outside the IP
addresses assigned by the Cable Modem/Router’s DHCP server. By default the DHCP
Server assigns addresses from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.255. We recommend using
192.168.0.6 as the static IP address for your computer.
To access the IP Filtering page:
1 Click Advanced in the menu bar.
2 Then click the IP Filtering submenu.
Figure 14 shows an example of the menu and Table 9 describes the items you can
select.
