R6120 | Product | Support | NETGEAR
"You can use access control to block or allow access of devices to your network. You define access by selecting or specifying the MAC addresses of the wired and WiFi devices that either can access your entire network or are blocked from accessing your entire network."
Or are you trying to do something else?
Yeah the manual is misleading, the option ADVANCED > Security > Access Control. isn't there!!! I have checked the product page and i am currently on the most recent available firmware v1.0.0.16

I have seen reports of new firmware depriving people access to some functions.
It is a complicated saga. Sometimes it is down to region settings, but that seems to be for wifi.
