You can use the blacklist to block devices but there's no whitelist.

When i looked for a new router i looked in the discription and manual of the XR500 and this options was available,
now i bought one and it isn't ... dont undertand that ...
I dont want a Blacklist, i always worked with whitelists on my WiFi Router even my 20 Year old Netgear has this option.
I've one more security step with a safe WiFi Password and Whitelist :(

Could you show me where you saw that it had a whitelist? Maybe it's talking about a feature i've forgotten about.

I looked in the manual. The only reference to "whitelist" is regarding the Geo-Filter. This lets you stop players from being blocked when they otherwise would be.
