Manually add MAC addresses

I have recently replace my old Linksys WRT54GL (DD-WRT) with an R6700v3 for use as a wireless access point. Under the DD-WRT software, there was the capability to manually enter the addresses for MAC address filtering. I have found the Access Control section of the Netgear setup page, but I haven't seen any method to enter the addresses of systems that I know will be attempting to connect to the router. Is there a way to add MAC addresses to the system before they attempt to connect?
