Mac Addresses for Security

I am using my ORBI RBR750 at a fire department. I have too many people giving out the password. Is there a way to upload which MAC addresses can access the internet? It gets bogged down because of poeple that are not supposed to be on the internet. Any help out there?

It's called MAC Filtering and can be set through the web interface, not the Orbi App. Go to Advanced Tab then Security then Access Control.

 

Then Click Turn On Access Control

Then Click Block All New Devices From Connecting

 

Then open "View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network" at the bottom of the page and then Click Add.

 

You will have to add each MAC address of the permitted devices.  It's not that difficult, just be prepared for complaints!
