WRT54GS Access Restriction for WiFi Connected Devices

I have the WRT54GS v4 running with the latest Firmware Version: v1.06.3 -- I am attempting to add Access Restrictions for a few MAC addresses and IP addresses (my kids iPod Touch and laptop).   
I am simply wanting to deny total internet access from 9pm to 7am.   I have gotten it to work but ONLY for computers that are actually plugged into the router (cat 5 internet cables).  All the computers/devices that connect to the router via wifi do not seem to be restricted at all.   I am thinking this is an issue with the router in that it ONLY seems to apply the Access Restriction rules to those devices that are actually directly connected by hardwire.
Has any one else noticed this issue for WiFi connected devices?  Access Restrictions do not seem to apply to WiFi connected devices.
Please help -- I would hate to have to buy another router.

Are you sure you have enter the correct MAC address or IP address? Wired connections use different MAC and IP addresses then wireless connection...

    Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
    Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

  • Access Restrictions for Time?

    I keep trying to set access restrictions for my wrt54g router for time. There is no 12 for time so I'm selecting 11:55 pm to 6am but I keep getting an error message of, "end time must be bigger then begin time." I get this no matter if I select 9pm, 10pm, etc.........
    Any ideas?

    You cannot choose a time frame through midnight. You have to split it in two rules, one before midnight and one after, i.e. choose 12am to 6am and 9pm to 11:55 pm.

  • Workplace won't give me the password for wifi connection

    My place of employment refuse to give me the password for wifi connection. Is there anyway around this?

    Nothing legal. They do add password access for a reason.

  • ABOUT wrt54g 'Access Restriction'

    Dear all:
    once the duration of rule expired. It won't apply another rule by the time serial.
    For example, I set up one of PCs was allowed to access internet between 7:00am~11:55am. This PC could access to internet after 11:55am, even I set another rule for this PC with duration 12:00pm~18:00pm.
    Is any solution for my needs.

    The Access Restrictions feature allows you to limit Internet access on your network.  You can deny access to certain computers, block certain applications and services, and block certain websites by the use of keywords or by the URL at a given time.  This feature allows you to customize up to 10 different Internet Access Policies for particular computers, which are identified by their IP or MAC addresses.

  • WRT54G v6 Access Restrictions killing router connection

    I've posted this question elsewhere, but an answer never came up, so I'm hoping to find a solution here
    I have a number of sites I'm looking to block on my home network.  I set four access restriction policies (since you're limited on how many each policy can block), and it worked just fine.  The sites were blocked and everything went well for about an hour (give or take, I can't recall).  Then, my internet connection became erratic and started continually dropping.
    The problem was that it wasn't my actual internet connection, but the router doing what appeared to be like a power-off refresh - the Power light would start blinking rapidly, and then it would either eventually reconnect on its own, or I'd have to reset the router.  No matter what, though, after enabling the access restrictions, I couldn't maintain a stable connection for very long. I know that these restrictions are the issue, because if I turned them off, it was fine.. and if I turn them back on, it acts up again. I downloaded the latest firmware, but that did not help.
    The router didn't feel exceptionally hot (as I thought that might've been it), but the system allows for 10 policies to be enabled, so I don't think 4 should kill the whole system. I didn't see any type of other options in the access restriction policy panel that might be causing some type of internet connection interference, but I could be wrong. I'd really love to have these blocks in place, but I'd also love to be able to still access the internet at the same time
    Any help or passed-on knowledge of what's going on would be extremely appreciated

    It seems defective. But you can try reflashing the firmware and then holding the reset button for 30seconds after that. If that doesn't work then do a 30-30-30 reset. You might just have to use Open Dns if those suggestions don't fix the issue. 
    I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

  • WRT54G can ping internet, but connected devices cannot.

    When I do a factory reset of our WRT54G router and configure it for our setup, everything works fine for a while (undetermined, random amount of time). We use it primarily for wireless access, and connect an iphone, ipad, mac, pc devices to it with no problem and can access the internet fine.
    After some period of time, all devices can still connect to the WRT54G via wireless, but cannot access the internet either by browser or ping/tracert commands. Meanwhile, the WRT54G diagnostics can successfully perform pings and tracerts to both IP address and URLs (so DNS *is* working fine)
    I connected a computer to the WRT54G via cat5 cable while the wireless devices could not access the internet, and the wired computer could *not* access the internet either. However, from the admin section of the WRT54G we could ping/tracert with no problems.
    Any ideas what causes this to drop and what we can do (other than factory reset) to fix it, and perhaps to prevent it?
    ..Rick..

    This isn't a home setup.  My wrt54G is connected to a DMZ switch which is connected to our gateway router and then out to the 100mpbs pipe.
    All of our LAN is working fine, and as I mentioned in the original post, the WRT54G can always ping an external site (both via URL and IP address), as well as being able to do a traceroute.
    When the connected devices can no longer get to the internet through the router, the router can still do the pings and traceroutes, so I conclude that there is no interruption in internet service. It stops at the WRT54G.  It always accepts wireless connections.

  • Parameters n95 for wifi connection?

    hi ,please anyone had a kind heart to solve my problem, got a problem with the wifi connection, and i tried to many times, got always no gateway!! if anyone can help me pls!! i want a good suggestion for the parameters thanks in advance

    Hi,
    settings of WiFi are automatic. Device is searching for WLan and there are to possibilities;
    1)wlan without authorisation code - this means, you don't need to know any access code, if signal is strong enough, device will connect with net and you can browsing.
    2)wlan which needs authorisation code - connection is possible after giving a security code. If you don't know such a code, you can not go in.
    Sometimes even if access is public, signal can too weak or too many ppl are using it in this same time for effective connection.
    You should try to find wifi in some shopping center with cafe, restaurant, where are many open wifis, if you couldn't connect there, it would mean, that there is something wrong with your wifi module.  
    Good luck

  • Downgrading firmware on WRT54G/access restrictions

    I had a WRT54G.  Access restrictions worked.  I upgraded the firmware and the access restrictions no longer worked. 
    So after researching, it appears the firmware I upgraded to was buggy and the access restrictions didn't work with the new firmware.  I couldn't figure out how to downgrade back to what I had. 
    Called Linksys and ultimately they said they would send a new router.  I asked if it would have the old firmware that my router had previously, where the access restrictions worked.  Yes, they said.
    New router arrives today.  Firmware is v1.02.2, June 7, 2007.  NOT the prior firmware.  Sure enough, the access restrictions still do not work on this router either.  I don't want to spend yet another two weeks trying to resolve this with Linksys.
    Question:  Is there a way to downgrade to firmware where the access restrictions actually work for WRT54G?  If so,
    what version should I downgrade to?
    where do I obtain it? and
    can I download the firmware and then install it using the administration/upgrade firmware tab on the router (even though it is a downgrade)?
    Thanks very much for any thoughts.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Badboy.  Unfortunately, although I could download the firmware and successfully load it onto the router, the access restrictions in that version do not work either.
    It doesn't seem as though all prior versions of firmware are on the ftp site, ftp.linksys.com.  For example, I also have a wrt54gs v. 4 (speedbooster) with the same access restriction problem.  It currently has a firmware version loaded that doesn't appear to be listed on that website.  (I couldn't download prior firmware for that version that worked.)  So, perhaps prior firmware exists for the wrt54g v. 6 that is not listed on that site also.
    Does anyone know if there is another site that has a more extensive collection of prior linksys firmware? 
    If not, I suppose I can call linksys again, but even if they send yet another router promising the old firmware on it, I suspect the message is just going to get lost between the promise made on the phone and the guy in the warehouse filling the RMA order.

  • WRT54G Access Restriction Time /Day Problems. Need Help!

    Hi,
    I have a WRT54G wireless router. When I set the access restriction time to DENY everyday from 11:00pm to 6:00am, it displayed that "The end time must be bigger than start time!". It is from 11 at night to 6 in the morning. How else do I set it? I even upgrade the firmware to v4.21.1 but it still does not work with that time setting.  I tried to set to ALLOW everyday from 6:00am to 11:30pm and it accepted the settting but it just applied the restriction right away without waiting for the right time (after I enable it, none of the laptops can access internet even its only 9:10pm).. The time in the linksys setup page is correct as well as all my pcs. Please help! Thanks.

    The Access Restrictions feature of a Linksys router allows you to limit Internet access on your network.  You can deny certain computers’ Internet access or block certain applications and services.

  • WRT54G and IP Address of Connected Devices

    An HP laser printer and a DLink network drive are among the various devices connected to my network via a WRT54G and an eight port switch. Every now and then the IP addresses for these two devices change. With respect to the printer, this means I cannot depend on reliably printing something and  I periodically have to delete the printer and reinstalli it on the various computers. This also presents a problem with the DLink drive because when the address changes the mapping of it as a lettered drive on each computer is no longer valid.
    How can I fix the IP addresses of these network devices so it does not change?

    Set static IP addresses on the devices. You can't change it on the WRT.
    (unless your WRT54G has a firmware which has a dhcp reservation function in the web interface, but think the WRT54G is too old for that. For that it would be helpful to know which model & version you have exactly as printed on the label underneath the router and which firmware version you are running as shown in the web interface).
