There is no MAC filtering for the WiFi and no IP attribution or reservation. It's a bad point for a router...

There is IP address reservation features and instead of Mac Filtering, there is Parental Controls. Dig deeper and you'll find what your looking for.

Any Reservation problems that users find have been fixed in the latest FW update. Good router. Works well.

There's no mac filtering which is aweful. Also the max lease DCHP time is 10800 mins which is just crap.

I'm returning it. Called support but the guy could barely speak English.

If you had dug in deeper, there is parental controls which can be used like Mac Filtering. If you set up DHCP reservations then lease time isn't a factor. Some users need to get to know more about how routers work. The 880L is a great router if you know how to use it.
