MAC Filtering Processing

I just bought and set up a USG20 wired router and the dashboard for the USG20W is very similar. An RS-232 cable can be used to set up and avoid conflicts when remapping the ports you are connected to. I resolved this by either connecting to a different port than what I needed to change the destination, or simply restarting the router after making changes to the connected port. For the past several years, I've had neighbors decrypting my WiFi. Password and sat on my WiFi account stealing bandwidth. This might not be such a problem as I suggest ZyXEL_Guest_WiFi account anyway. However, I could not find any specific MAC address filtering to prevent unwanted use of the WiFi hotspot and my personal network. Address range to assigned MAC addresses. This would make MAC address filtering unnecessary for a larger range of public IP addresses.
