Good day,

 

I just got my TP-Link Deco BE85 up and running. I can connect to it and login to its web interface using ip address  192.168.68.1.

 

I just upgraded from a TP-Link Archer AXE300. The AXE300 had a GREAT user web interface, much of which seems to be missing on my new Deco BE85.

 

I want to "lock down" my home network and only allow the MAC addresses that I specify to access my home network. The Archer AXE300 had a 

 

great "Access Control" page where I could easily enter all of the MAC addresses that were allowed to gain access into my home network. Where is this

 

feature on the Web / user interface of my Deco BE85? One of the GREAT things that I LOVED about my Archer AXE300 was that easy to use,

 

thorough, feature rich web / user interface.

 

How do I do this on my new Deco BE85?

 

Thanks, have a great day!

 

Tim

  @TimK12 I do not know if the BE85 allows configuring a white list of MAC addresses.

Some other models of Deco allow that, see here how it can be configured on those models.  I expect the configuration would be similar on the BE85.
