Today I will teach you how to set up D-Link filters.

1.IP Filters

IP filters block access to ports or a series of ports from an IP address on the local network (LAN). For example, if you did not want the computer with IP address 192.168.0.100 to access the Internet, then you would block that IP address from accessing port 80.

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DWL-G730AP in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.30). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Advanced tab then click Filters on the left.

Step 4: Select the IP Filters radio button.

Step 5: Select the Enabled radio button.

Step 6: In the first field next to IP enter the IP address you want to filter access from. If you want this to apply to a range of IP addresses, then enter the ending IP address in the second field.

Step 7: In the first field next to Port enter the port you want to block. To block a range of ports, enter the ending port number in the second field, then select the protocol type (TCP, UDP, or Both) from the drop-down list next to Protocol Type.

Step 8: Next to schedule select the Always radio button to always deploy this filter, or select the From radio button to set a schedule using the time and day drop-down boxes below.

Step 9: Click Apply and then click Continue to save the settings.

2.URL Blocking

URL Blocking is used to block web sites that contain certain keywords.

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DWL-G730AP in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.30). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Advanced tab then click Filters on the left.

Step 4: Select the URL Blocking radio button.

Step 5: Select the Enabled radio button.

Step 6: In the text box below enter a keyword to block. To delete a keyword, select it from the box below the text box, and click the Delete button.

Step 7: Click Apply to add the keyword to the list.

3.MAC Filters

MAC Filters allow you to allow or deny access to the LAN by specifying MAC addresses.

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DWL-G730AP in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.30). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Advanced tab then click Filters on the left.

Step 4: Select MAC Filters using the radio buttons.

Step 5: In the section MAC Filters, select the radio button for the mode you would like to use.

4.Domain Blocking

Domain blocking lets you allow or deny access to certain websites.

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DWL-G730AP in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.30). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Advanced tab then click Filters on the left.
