Now, you need to specify access rules. You can choose one of the two radio buttons :

Allow All New Devices to Connect– If you choose this option, after you buy a new device and you need to access your router’s network on it, then you need not enter its MAC address in the settings page.
Block All New Devices to Connect– If you opt for this option, then you must enter its MAC address in the wired or wireless connection allowed devices list.

This access rule will not be effective for the previously allowed or blocked devices though. This will remain effective for the devices that try to access your WiFi after the changes are made.
