How to set up internet access in Linksys router?
 
I have a linksys WRT54GS wirless router. In light the coming of dummer holiday, I want to add some restrictions of internet access so that my little son would not dive too much time in it. The firmware is V3.37.2. It seems I can block the access to URL or www by key words. But the time control is not working. What I want is a limilted time access to all internet, say, 1400 to 1900 everyday. Anyone give a tip? Cheers!!!

Have you signed up for the linksys parental control stuff? See the link within the admin pages of your router, under access restrictions. I think that allows you to do what you want.

had the same problem. Save the config, Set all the times you want, then power off the router, then power it back on :) Worked a treat for me :)

As a point of notice i tend to filter by MAC address, as the IP can change if left to auto-assign by DCHP on the computer.

Solved the problem of it not blocking correctly with the reboot ;)

Do you mean you can filtering MAC against time?

I did tried to set up time control then power off/on as described in manual but did not work. IS your router the same model as my one?

Yep, perfectly possible to filter by MAC. (by using access restrictions)

My router is virtually the same, the WRT54G (v5).
