N300 MAC filtering as an access point

I have just brought a N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender.  Set up as an access point.  Updated to latest firmware (V1.0.1.8).

 

I can't find an option to MAC filter wireless devices.  There is an option for enabling access control which has no effect.

 

If I can't control who has access to the router then I will have to return the device.

      The model is NETGEAR WN2000RPT-100UKS N300 Mbps 802.11n Universal Wi-Fi Desktop Range Extender (Wi-Fi Booster) from amazon.uk. The manual cliams there is mac filtering but the web interface to the router doesnot show the same interface,

        Hello ChrisMx

         

        Have you tried to use another web browser when enabling the access control?
