IP spoofing
B
MAC address filtering
C
DNS spoofing
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Go to Firewall and select MAC Filter. If you want to allow only selected devices to access the internet, you will require creating rules for those devices in the List of Exceptions section. Select Allow from the drop-down, enter the MAC address of a device, and click the Save button.

Detailed explanation-2: -MAC address filtering adds an extra layer to this process. Before letting any device join the network, the router checks the device’s MAC address against a list of approved addresses. If the client’s address matches one on the router’s list, access is granted as usual; otherwise, it’s blocked from joining.

Detailed explanation-3: -Next to WiFi MAC Filter Switch, select ‘Black List’. Enter the MAC address of the device you would like to block from your WiFi network. Click on ‘Apply’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Log in to the web-based interface of the router. If you don’t know how to do that, please refer to. Go to Advanced > Security > Access Control. Enable Access Control. Select the access mode to either block (recommended) or allow the device(s) in the list. 27-Jun-2022
