Access restrictions timing off by 1 hour

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this problem. I have set access restrictions on my WRT610N router and they execute an hour earlier than set.
I checked the time zone settings, the system clock and all seem correct. I have a rule that is supposed to turn off access to the Internet at 11:55pm. However, the rule gets executed at 10:55pm.
This was happening on my first WRT610N which was also dropping network connections. So, I returned that unit and got a replacement.
The new unit does not drop connections but has the same timing problem. The only solution I have found is to change the time zone to the next one that is 1 hour behind my time zone.
Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this same situation.

My ISP is on the same town as I am. The information they are supplying appears to be correct as my WRT54G uses the same information and its rules execute properly.
I think there is a problem with the WRT610N. My solution is temporary I hope that Linksys will fix this problem.

Timed Block off by 1 hour

I have just finished migrating my BM server (NetWare 6.5 SP7) from 3.8 to 3.9 SP1, and boy am I LOVING the switch from NWAdmin to iManager.
(Smell the sarcasm?)
Anyway, I am trying to reconfigure my timed block rules for the student user groups since the format/config whatever changed and 3.9 won't recognize the old rules.
Here's my problem: I set a rule to deny access for the HS_Students group to http://*.runescape.com*/ from 8:00AM to 3:00PM. It is currently 2:30PM, and the BM server's console TIME command reflects this. However, the student login is not blocked when accessing the URL. If I bump the timed block up to 8:00AM to 4:00PM, the site is blocked.
It appears that BorderManager thinks it is an hour later than it really is. Is this possible when the NetWare OS reports the correct time? Could it be some weird Daylight Saving issue? Do I just need to set the timed block entry to one hour later than it really is and forget about it?

Well, you can now edit BM configs from Linux, and also from the internet,
so there are some advantages...

Coould it be daylight savings time? I know the BM rules never did
reflect DST time before, meaning you had to change time settings in rules
twice a year. Perhaps 3.9 is actually honoring the time changes now in
some way, and throwing the old rules off by an hour unexpectedly?

If you have not changed your rule since DST started this year, you are
probably just seeing what has been there all along.

WRT54GX2 Timed Access Restrictions work too well

I have set three access restrictions applicable to both a laptop (ethernet and wireless MAC addresses) and a desktop. They all work the first time; however, once they shut off internet access, they don't permit reconnection at the time they should. The time functions all seem to be set correctly and working properly. Is it possible that I am somehow "overloading" by having three separate MAC addresses for each access policy? Should I limimt each policy to one MAC address? Thanks.

Yep, I have the same problem. No answer yet on the thread I opened. I have 2 policies with 2 MAC addresses from a wireless network listed. It locks them at the right time, but when the morning comes, they remain locked. It didn't work the first 2 days, then it worked for 2 days, then it failed this weekend again. Just logging into the router doesn't solve it. Either a reboot (pull the power cord and plug it back in) or a re-save of the config (without even making any changes) also makes access available again.
It has to be a bug. The config is pretty cut and dried. Of course, it could be a clock problem if the router doesn't know what time it is! Not sure exactly how to troubleshoot that one. I've checked the logs, and they have the right time stamp in them, so I don't think this is what's happening.

WRT54G2 and WRT54G locks-up (freezes) when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions

I am convinced that a few Linksys routers such as WRT54G2 and WRT54G have a major issue when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy). After a few hours of internet access by 15 wired users the Linksys locks-up and blocks all internet web access. The only solution is to restart the power on the router.
We are currently using a Linksys WRT54G2 v1 (firmware 1.0.04). We upgraded the WRT54G2 v1 firmware to the latest 1.0.04 version which did not resolve the issue. NOTE: We were previosuly using a a Linksys WRT54G v1.1 (firmware 4.21.1) until the power supply blew a week after we started blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy).
Basically, we have a T1 internet connection and a hub connected to the Linksys router. We are trying to block several web sites such as facebook, myspace, etc. for 15 wired users. We do not use wireless connections.
This is the 2nd time it happened with 2 different models.
Please help ASAP.
Thank you,
Lance
(Mod note: Edited post. Some parts off topic.. Thanks!)

Also, you have already upgrade/re-flash the firmware of your Linksys Router you need to reset and reconfigure your router from scratch. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

E4200 guest network access restrictions

I have the E4200 router with fw v1.0.01.
I need to provide guest access and limit the hours it is available.
I am not able to use access restrictions because when I attempt to enter the range of IP addresses it forces me to use 192.168.1 and the guest subnet is 192.168.33, therefore it never gets a match when the cutoff time comes. I do not know the MAC addresses of the guests and cannot force them to use predefined static IP addresses, so the range of addresses seems to be my only option. It's just that it won't let me input the "33" where it is needed.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding something or perhaps there is some other way to accomplish this.
Please advise.
Thank you,
-Marty

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure you're right, at least it looks that way. That's a little too open for me. I suppose I could change the config when I want to cut off access, it would just be nice to have it automated.

Access Restriction - Internet Connection Policy (between two times)

I want to say something about the Access Restriction.
I set the policy for allow internet connection for one of my LAN PC's. For example, I set the policy to ALLOW internet connection EVERY DAY from 8:00PM to 10:00PM. Starting with 10M internet connection stops. BUT, after a few minutes I do a power circle (turn OFF and turn ON the router) and I have internet connection again. For me, allowing internet connection from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM means to have internet connection ONLY BETWEEN THIS HOURS, not before and not after.
In my opinion, this is the same situation with two DENY policies for internet connection, one from 12:00 AM to 8:00 PM and other from 10:00 PM to 11:55 PM (for the same PC, of course).
Why POWER CIRCLE broken this policies ?
ps - sorry for my English.

@sunwatcher,
If I set a policy for my little boy PCs ... for allowing internet connection from 4:00PM to 6:00PM (for example) ... after 6:00 PM internet connection stops and he turn OFF and turn ON the router (power circle) and after that he have internet connection, from then for a long time ...
I am from Romania, and I set time zone on GMT +2 (Bucharest time zone)
I insist with this problem because I want for him to use internet only between two times. Outside this time frame I want him to do their homework.

Access Restriction shuts down access to all computers

I have set up access restriction times for my son (we have wireless access for all systems). I use the MAC address on his systems. Xbox, Kindle Fire and his Laptop.
The MAC address are Correct. Here is the problem:
I set the "allow" and times from 6pm - 11:00 pm (while on xmas vacation) - the system works for a while he is shut off as i would like but....
After a period of time the entire house goes off line. I have to reboot the power on e2000 router and then disable the access restrictions. System then works. Problem is repeatable. What is the deal. I have updated firmware already. Otherwise the system works great. Never dies. Just when i set access restricions for a SPECIFIC time it kills entiore houese. BTW i can deny him outright 24/7 and the system idsables his access fine. Its just when i set specific times. I am very frustrated.
Solved!

Kindly double check on this article the settings you've set on the router especially for the policies and its respective time restrictions however if it does the same thing, reset the router for an hour then reconfigure it.
Setting up Access Restrictions on a Linksys router using the classic web-based interface

Access restrictions w/ WRT54G Ver 8 (Firmware 8.0.5).......

It seems that Access Restrictions are a bit of a problem w/ the Linksys routers. Well, here's my story to go with the crowd. Hopefully, someone at Linksys / Cisco can provide a solution.
I am wanting to set up access restrictions on my Linksys WRT54G Ver. 8 (Firmware 8.0.5). Following the "instructions", I built my access restrictions as follows:
Policy 1
Enabled
Named for my PC
Edited List of PC's - inserted my NIC MAC address and saved the settings
Set to "Allow" Internet Access
Everyday
24 Hrs per day
Saved Settings
Policy 2
Enabled
Named for my daughters laptop
Edited List of PC's - inserted her Wireless NIC MAC address and saved the settings
Set to "Allow" Internet Access
Sun - Thur: 07:00 AM - 09:30 PM
Fri - Sat: 07:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Saved Settings
Policy 3
Enabled Named for my wife's desktop
Edited List of PC's - inserted her NIC MAC address and saved the settings
Set to "Allow" Internet Access
Sun - Sat: 06:00 AM - 11:00 PM
Saved Settings
....then, I reset the router. Once up, I tried access from each PC...nothing. Couldn't get out.
Thus, I went back into the Linksys set up, disabled the access restrictions. Viola ! I'm back on-line with all three PC's.
Checked around the forum and found that some people had built a primary policy that included all of their PC MAC's or IP addresses and was "Enabled" and set to "Deny" Internet access 24/7. From there, they built out their access restrictions and, supposedly, they worked.
I tried that as well...deleted all the access restrictions. Reset the router and went through the entire router setup to be on the safe side. Built the primary "Deny" access restriction then my other three PC restrictions. And....it still didn't work.
Thus, I would really like to get this working so I can limit my daughters access. It's interfering with her school work so I want to lock her down a little bit. Friends are important to her but I've stressed that her education is even more important.
Thus, if Linksys themselves or someone on the forums can provide an answer, excellent ! If not, I'll look into another router that can do the job. I'd rather not do that, but if the Linksys won't perform this function, I'll have to. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Thanks for the reply. I deleted all profiles and built just the two specific for my daughters laptop and one for my wife's PC. My wife's PC is running XP SP3. It follows the access restriction policy with no problems. My daughters laptop is running Vista Home Premium. With the policies active, her connectivity was sporadic for about an hour before it just finally shut off her connectivity completely...well before the policy was supposed to.
Thus, I'm now thinking that thismay be a Vista problem to an extent as well(Gee....who would have thought that !?!?!?!?).
I disabled the IP 6 protocol just as a precaution. Still no access. And when I disable the policies on the Linksys, she's back in service.
Any further suggestions are appreciated.

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.

WRT160Nv3 problem with blocking traffic using Access Restrictions

Hi.
I want something quite simple. Block Youtube. I go into "Access Restrictions", choose a name for policy 1, enable it, choose the pc from the pc list, but then...
if a click Deny, all other options will be disabled (greyed out, can't click nor write on them).
Therefore, I can't put the urls I want (youtube).
I tried writing the url with "allow" and then change it to "deny" but it will block ALL traffic.
No good.
So, how do I make a new policy just to block this one URL?
Is it normal that when I click and choose "Deny" everything gets disabled afterwards?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Leo
Solved!
Go to Solution.

for internet access policy DENY means to restrict internet access during specified days and hours. this will block ALL internet traffic for the said schedule. website blocking by URL, blocking by means of keyword and blocking applications would then be NOT AVAILABLE as the computers would not have internet access to begin with if you have such a policy disabled.
for your case, you may want to try to set restriction to ALLOW internet access then specify youtube.com under Website Blocking by URL. this would allow computers to have access to the internet all the time (if you have the schedule set to EVERYDAY) or during specific days and hours but NOT have access to youtube.

Problem with access restriction

I have about 50 to 80 users under my internet connection and i used the router 2500 and make there repeater of the single connection but i want to restrict many of the user on interner and some on timely but is not possible with this version of product, what can i do house, or what software do you suggest for me to use with this to restrict the internet access on this network.
Again, i try to use switch sf100-24 becos of the numbers of the cable to use that is more than 4 as we have only 4 port on the router for ethernet but if i connect it after few second it will make all the connection saying 'unidentify network' and it will not function again what can i do to solve this problem too please!!! help me house

Hi, you might perhaps consider getting a gigabit switch in order for those devices to be able to work with access restriction.

Access Restrictions - Blocked Applications does not save

Under the Access Restrictions section it is possible to Block Applications.
I enter a name for the application, the port range (from and to) and whether it is TCP, UDP or both. I then hit ADD which adds the application to the list of Blocked Applications in the box above. I then scroll down thru that box to find the App and [>>] add it to the Blocked List. I then hit SAVE SETTINGS
Upon returning to the policy and the Blocked Apps list the record I just created is nowhere to be found. Not in the Blocked List or under Applications.
What gives ???

Wireless-N Gigabit Router
Model: WRT310N
Firmware Version: v1.0.06
All PCs run VISTA
I don't see how a HARD RESET and POWER RECYCLE creates a fix for this. All that does is reboot the existing firmware and causes me to have to reenter all the router and security settings. The documentation for the lastest firmware (version Ver.1.0.9 build 4 12/11/2009) and the previous upgrade (1.0.07 build 14) does not include references to a fix for this problem. Has this been identified before and what firmware version is the fix included in ?
I have held off performing the 1.0.9 firmware upgrade as I have no confidence that this will fix this problem.

Cisco ISE Machine Access Restrictions MAR

I want to test out MAR. I notice there is a tick box on the ISE for MAR under: Identity Management --> External Identity Sources --> Active Directory --> Advanced Settings --> [tick] Enable Machine Access Restrictions
but also there is this condition that is to be used in the AuthZ Policy
Network Access:WasMachineAuthenticated
So...
What does the tick box option do?
Are they related or refer to different things?
Are both needed to get a MAR AuthZ to work?
Any of clarifying or beneficial info?
thanks

Hi,
Your are correct you will have to create an authorization condition that checks if the machine authenticated successfully.
So...
What does the tick box option do?
When you enable MAR globally it lets the ISE know to build a cache for endpoints that successfully perform machine authentication.
Are they related or refer to different things?
They work hand in hand.
Are both needed to get a MAR AuthZ to work?
Yes, you will have to create another authorization policy to allow domain computers to connect.
Any of clarifying or beneficial info?
When MAR is enabled, you will have to enable machine and user authentication to your laptop, after MAR succeeds ISE builds an entry in its database mapping the endpoint (mac address) to a successful machine authentication, after when a user authenticates not only do they have to provide the correct credentials but the mac address they are authenticating through will have an entry in the "MAR cache", keep in mind that some supplicants only perform machine authentication when logging on and off, and on boot up. If you want to use MAR i suggest using the Anyconnect NAM client, there is a new feature in ISE 1.1.1 and the latest client that allows you to perform eap chaining.
Thanks,

Access Restrictions

I just upgraded my firmware for my router to the lates and my access restictions no longer function like they did under my old firmware (wrt54g v2.2)
currently I have my access restrictions set up like this
1 allow ip:100 24/7
2 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
3 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
problem is ip:101 cannot connect to any website even those who donot match keywords or specificly blocked websites
so I tried:
1 allow ip:100 24/7
2 allow ip:101 24/7
3 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
4 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
ip:101 now has full unresrticted access
so I tried:
1 disabled
2 disabled
3 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
4 allow ip:101 24/7 with keyword restrictions and web sites blocked
both 100/101 cannot connect
I set up the restrictions the way I was told to ... premissions before denys... I can't figure out why it's not working or how to get the access resctictions to work properly again... and of course I cant seem to get my old firmware back....so how do I set my access restrictions so ip 100 has full access and ip 101 is restricted from the websites I want and the keywords?

What is going on and why is Linksys not fixing this problem?? I was told to buy the WRT54GL model and that everything would be great with Access Restrictions. But much to my disappointment, it is the same problem as my other model. It actually worked when I first powered up the Router and entered the restriction (I am doing a VERY simple restriction of myspace.com) but after about an hour or so, the whole access restriction thing seemed to be ignored, no matter how many times I deleted the rule and re-entered it. Why can't they fix this!!!???

E1000 Access Restrictions Issue

I attempted to create a rule to limit access only to specific URLs during a specific time of day. However, it seems to have blocked all of the internet for the user at that MAC address, outside of the times I had chosen. I double-checked to make sure that the radio button next to 'Allow' was selected in the section that reads: "Internet access during selected days and hours." I don't know what I'm doing wrong. How is the time of day determined by the router? Is there a clock which needs to be set to my time zone somewhere? If so, I've yet to find it. Also, why is it blocking all access to the internet? It should only be blocking 3 URLs.

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. This article will provide instructions on how to set up Access Restrictions by blocking certain days or hours.
Here is the link for the same: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=20b29e54474a4a17aff594cb659747ea_4041.xml&pid=80&r...
The time zone on your router should be set correctly according to the time zone in your current location. This is to ensure that the Parental controls feature will block Internet access on the exact time you specified. To configure the time zone on your router, access your router’s web-based setup page, then go to Basic Setup sub tab under the Setup tab. Click the Time Zone drop-down menu and select the appropriate time zone. Once done, click Save Settings.
