You shouldn't use MAC Address filter on router

MAC address is easy to access through the packet sent over the network. Hacker can monitor the network packet  within 2 or 3 sec. and know the MAC address, after changing the device MAC the hacker can enter in your network. Changing the MAC address is not big deal. So if you are allowing the client through their MAC address filter without any extra layer of security then your network might not be secure.
