Ping a Device and Allow or Deny the Device a Connection
You can allow (whitelist) or block (blacklist) connections to individual devices, regardless of the distance
radius of your Geo Filter. If you allow an individual connection, the device can connect to your device, even
if is outside the radius of your Geo Filter. If you deny an individual connection, the device cannot connect
to your device, even if is inside the radius of your Geo Filter. However, you cannot block a dedicated server.
This allow-or-deny capability is not the same as an access control list, which can let
you allow access only to authorized devices.
Note
To ping a device and allow the device to connect to your device or deny the device from
connecting to your device:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin.The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select Geo-Filter.
5. In the Geo-Filter Map pane, click the connection on the Geo Filter Map.
If the Ping pane is not yet open, the Ping pane opens. For the selected connection, the Ping pane
displays the ping information and the associated host type, IP address, and domain name.
The ping results shows the connection quality from your device to the device at the other end of the
connection.The connection quality is measured in milliseconds (ms). The lower the value in ms, the
better.
6. In the Ping pane, do the following:
a. To assign a name to the connection, type a name in the Name field.
b. Click the ALLOW or DENY button.
The connection is added to the Allow and Deny pane.
7. To ping the connection again, click the ping icon in the Allow and Deny pane.
The new ping results display in the Ping pane.
8. To remove the connection from the Allow and Deny pane, click the trash icon in the Allow and Deny
pane.
If the connection was allowed, it might now be denied if it is outside the distance radius.
If the connection was denied, it might now be allowed if it is inside the distance radius.
