No possibility to have MAC filters or to disable LAN port on powerline wireless PLW1000-100PES

I have just bought the PLW1000 kit with the wireless powerline. I cannot find in the configuration the possibility to put MAC filters on the LAN port or to disable it.

I think it's a big lack of security because it leaves the possiblity to unknown (if the powerline is not under eyes control) to connect to the LAN just by plugging a cable in the port even if we have WPA/MAC security on the wireless side.

I suggest to put a MAC filter access control on the LAN port of the powerline on the next revision of the firmware.
