How to Enable MAC Filtering on Cudy AX1800 Router: Step-by-Step Guide

Accessing MAC Filtering Settings

• 💡 To begin, ensure you are connected to your Cudy Wi-Fi network and navigate to cudy.net in your browser.
• 📌 Access the advanced settings and locate the MAC filter option under the security section.

Configuring MAC Filtering Modes

• ⚙️ MAC filtering is disabled by default; you can switch between two modes: Allow all except listed (blacklist) or Allow listed only (whitelist).
• 🎯 The blacklist mode prevents specific MAC addresses from accessing your network.
• 🚀 The whitelist mode allows only designated MAC addresses to connect, effectively creating a secure list.

Adding Devices to the Filter

• ➕ After selecting your desired mode, click Add to input a MAC address.
• 📋 You can view a list of currently connected devices or manually input a custom MAC address.
• 📝 An optional comment field is available to label the device or owner, for example, "John's Laptop".

Saving and Applying Changes

• ✅ Once you have configured the settings and added the MAC address, click Save and Apply.
• 🚫 The specified device, identified by its MAC address, will then be prevented from connecting to your Wi-Fi network.
