XR300 - MAC Whitelist
Hello, a while ago I bought the EX7300 and was surprised to learn that it does not support a MAC address whitelist for the wireless devices. Instead a whitelist should be configured on the router...
That is just "fantastic'! Why is it called a "PRO" Gaming Router then?
Nevermind, I never would have thought, that such an essential security feature will be ommited ever by a router in the 3rd millenium. I guess it is my fault for not doing the research and relying solely on the Netgear brand.
Because the features focus on what will help your gaming. MAC Whitelist won't affect that. I would assume that if you created a strong WiFi password then you wouldn't have devices potentially connecting that you don't recognise. This will be up to Netgear if they want to include it again.
