This document describes how to enable and configure MAC Address Filtering. MAC Address Filtering is not enabled by default. Unlike IP addresses, they can be assigned by the DHCP server or hard-coded to various address.

This option is useful because the MAC address of specific Network Interface Card (NIC) never changes. Luckily, the Technicolor TG582n has a system for managing event log rules and a series of commands to view the rules, add new rules, remove rules, and start and stop the logging service. I haven't had to do it in at least a year, but recently people have started downloading aggressively.

The SBG6580 includes an Advance MAC Filtering option to define up to twenty Media Access Control (MAC) address filters to prevent devices from sending outgoing TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN via their MAC addresses. I used to use mac address filtering on my Bigpond TG782T when people in the house were downloading and making the internet too slow, I would block their mac address until I was ready to let them use it again.
