E3000 parental controlled laptops require router reboot

I have an E3000 router connecting 4 laptops wirelessly. They are all the same model and OS machines, Dell Latitude E6510 with Windows 7 Pro.
I have 2 of the computers under parental control to disable the internet each night.
In the morning after the time to re-enable internet to the two controlled computers, they still won't connect
until I reboot the router.
I tried rebooting the machines instead.
I have to re-boot the router every day since we started last week to re-enable their internet access.
I called support who checked out my router settings through a remote connection and they said the settings are correct.
Call if it happens again.
Any help is appreciated,
Dan

I have found that if either of the restricted computers are left on through/during the time reset boundry, that we have this problem. Once I made sure the computers were shut down (not just in sleep or hibernate) then the restoration to access works.
Maybe this is normal?

WRT120N - wireless capability routinely fails and requires router reboot

I purchased the WRT120N wireless router about a month ago and have found that the wireless capability of this unit routinely fails. I have numerous wireless devices in our home but it's the Apple iTouches that use it most of the time. Every day or two the wireless function just stops working and I have to rebooot the unit via the admin web page. Then everything continues to work for a while until we notice that it has failed again. I upgraded the router firmware to v1.0.04 and followed the instructions carefully but this made no difference.
Searching the web revealed that this was a wide-spread and well documented problem. Many other forum posts warn consumers to avoid buying this cheap and unreliable product.
I am about to give up return the unit to the store I bought it from but thought I'd give one last chance to this forum to see if there was any fix or alternative.
Please advise. Thanks.
Solved!

hi, to this topic I'd like to post my problem. so i have wrt120n wireless router, and I had a problem with connecting two computers ( one PC on cable, other Notebook with wireless). When both computers is online, router start to reboot. Event wiever posted :
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0000E87303EE. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server. especially when trying to send a file between computers through skype.
so that first problem, now I can't connect to internet at all. I've found almost the same problem:.
The computer is able to connect to the router perfectly fine, but I can't get on to the internet because I'm unable to aquire an IP address from the router. Instead of giving me my 198.168.1.x IP, I'm getting a 169.254.x.x.
But the thing is that i can't connect to router adress 192.168.1.1, I tried to reset router but still nothing. any ideas? how connect to the router?

Wrt600n connectivity loss requiring router reboot every day

the fun never stops with this router. i have to say that out of the 5 previous AP's / routers, this one has had more issues than the previous 5 combined.
at any rate, i am now seeing the ap lose all network connectivity every day, or every other day at best. i have to then reboot the thing, and the cycle repeats.
has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so any suggestions on how to fix it?

Have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your Router, If not then you can upgrade the firmware of your Router and i think this might solve the problem.Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop..
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
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...

Smart Wi-Fi error 2178 while editing parental controls - EA2700 router

Hi, I am seeing an "unexpected error 2178" while trying to edit the parental controls in Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. I have been editing the parental controls without any issues previously and wondering why this happened? My EA2700 router has the latest firmware 1.1.39.145204. I have tried other computers and get the same error code. I have also tried to disable the firewall, reboot the PC, router and modem. Linksys defines the troubleshooting error 2178 as "Only one edit pane can be opened at a time. The existing pane will be displayed" which makes little sense as there is only one standard pane anyway, and i don't open Smart Wi-Fi in other computers simultaneously. I think this error has something to do with the Linksys server. The expanded detail of the error message says: /jnap/parentalcontrol/SetParentalControlSettings -- Status: 200 OK Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Connection: close Content-Length: 38 Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 02:31:02 GMT Server: lighttpd/1.4.28
Other editing functions in Smart Wi-Fi works normally, only the parental controls. The router also works fine. Help on this is much appreciated!

Is there any representative from Cisco that reads this forum? I certainly would like Cisco to check their server for any bug that is causing this error! This is getting really frustating with no support from Cisco at all. Big regret buying this router!!

Parental control bug

Lion parental controls has AT LEAST one bug. I limit the access time to my daughter. Then it expires. I try to increase, but since they are logged in, it won't update. So they are in limbo. Next, as admin, I try to FORCE logout of their account but this is not a supported feature. So, we rebooted. But after reboot, account is still locked out. Only solution is to remove parental controls. GEESH! This is ridiculous. So, tell me, exactly what is the workaround for increasing time for an account?

If you want parental controls there are much better ways to go about it without too much of a problem. The parental controls in the router are very limiting.
You can sign up for an opendns account and change the router to use the opendns name servers. You can then filter what you do't want your kids to get to by content type. It's also free. Onceset up simply do an ipconfig /renew (or just restart them) on the windows systems you want to use the new setup. If you are a linux user I will presume you already know how to do this.
If you optionally don't want yourself to be under this umbrella you simpley have to change the DNS server IP on your computer to whatever the router IP is (ie. 192.168.1.1) or use someone elses like googles at 8.8.8.8.

Parental Control ALL Devices

Hey, I'm trying to add parental controls on my router in order to block certain sites from all devices that connect to my network. I don't want these sites getting through my router at all, regardless of the device, and I don't want any new devices being added to the network to be able to access those sites either. Let me reiterate: I want to COMPLETELY block a set of sites from my home.
I've got a Linksys E2500 at home and as far as I can tell, it only allows me to block individual devices from accessing certain sites. Does anybody know how to get the results I'm looking for with this router? If not, does anybody know of a router that Linksys manufactures that offers this capability? Thanks in advance for your help.

For this purpose I have deployed EA3500 and EA4500 models. These have the parental controls that you want are work well on under 100mb internet connections.
I don't recommend the update to the Cloud firmware as it is buggy and you lose exacting control over your network but the Classic firmware is available and excellent.
There is an issue with some ADSL modems but I have a firmware fix for that.
You would use a combination of parental control and wireless MAC Address filtering. Also if you want to know and label the device on your network DHCP IP Address reservation and label the device there.

How do I use the parental control of my dlink router over firefox?

I have a Dlink DIR-605L router which has parental control. I tried restricting certain websites but it doesnt seem to affect Mozilla Firefox. How do I go about this?

If the router has a way of recognizing Firefox traffic this may be possible?
However there are third party software tools and Filters that can be used for this as well [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-and-unblock-websites-with-parental-controls]
Looking at your router's manual, it may require an application filter? [http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20605L/Manual/DIR-605L_Manual_US.pdf]

How can I put parental controls on laptops my kids already own?

Hi all,
I bought my two daughters MacBook Airs this year, and they're great of course.
While setting up the MacBook Airs, the setup required user names and passwords for the accounts. So they have those. Each kid is the administrator of her computer, it therefore seems.
I would like to put parental controls on the MacBook Airs now. (They're good kids, but I'm concerned about all the adult stuff on the internet.) Is it too late?
Do I need to set everything up again so that I'm the Administrator and they're the users? On previous (PC) laptops, I hated this, because then I had to sign in every time there was a software update and such.
Is there a way to set up parental controls after the fact now in a way where I won't have to sign in all the time to troubleshoot their computers? Do I have to delete their current accounts, set up a new account for them and an account for me as "administrator"? Will that become horribly cumbersome?
Any experiences and advice most welcome. Thank you.

Admin rights are held in the Users & Groups Preference pane.
Log in as her.
Create a new user for you and give that user Admin rights.
Log her out.
Log in as you and take her admin rights away.

Parental Controls trivial to bypass in any home router?

In trying to figure out why the parental controls in my Linksys router were not working, I learned that my kid had trivally by-passed the parental controls that I had set up. I found his PC was associated with multiple MAC addresses. A simple google search found this Youtube video that even a grade school kid could follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqdib7D-MCY At the end, the poster goes to the Linksys help page for Parental Control just to laugh. This means at All MAC based access controls and parental controls are useless in any product. More research on DNS based partental controls shows they are trival to bypass as well. Installing a control on his PC requires taking away Admin access from his Window login and prevent software install, but then I have to install all the games and software and that's easy to circumvent too. Any recommendations other than taking my kids computer away?

Not sure this works but try setting up the MAC allow list for only the one MAC that is on the pc itself. set it up under Wireless>MAC filtering and click on the Allow button and add only the addresses you want ot have access. Unless your kid knows the password of the router and is able to changes settings in the router then when he changes his MAC is should not connect at all.edit: to add to this. you would need to use the mac filtering as well as the parental controls. If he changes his mac and it still gets in then that is definately a problem. Move the pc to the living room. Best parental control there is!

Hard reboot needed when I try to authorize a website with parental controls

This is the scenario I'm struggling with:
My son has parental controls set limiting the websites he can visit. When I try to authorize a website, sometimes safari returns to the "Oops! you're not authorized" page rather than opening the site. When this happens, I can close applications but not open any applications from the dock. When I log off and log back in I get the spinning beach ball at the login screen and need to do a hard reboot. When I try to authorize the site again it eventually works, but sometimes I get a dialog box that says java was trying to access a secure site. I click OK and continue. This doesn't happen every time I authorize a page, but often enough that it's a clear pattern.
My son's used to this and just goes for a hard reset when it happens; I'm thinking thats not acceptable. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
This is happening on an old white plastic 13-inch late 2009 macbook, 8MB, running OSX 10.9.4 and Safari 10.0.6.

You have a lot of extensions installed. Each one of those comes with a cost in memory and cpu resources. My advice would be to turn all the non-essential ones off. You also might want to disable add-on sync.
*[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
*[[How do I enable add-on sync?]]
You might also consider running [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#aurora Firefox Aurora]. It's currently version 14 but will be updated to 15 probably tomorrow. It now prevents add-on memory use from spiraling out of control (but again they all cost some amount of memory).

Best, user-friendly router for parental controls??

Hi all - I purchased the EA3500 but not sure it's features are the best for my purposes ... one teenager with a number of devices:
pc desktop
smartphone
ipod
macbook
ipad
xbox
I also have an iphone, an ipad, and apple t.v. I want to restrict his access both the amount of time each day and final turn-off time. I've read here that there's a bug re: IPv4 and IPv6>
Also it has to be really user-friendly for me to set up. I'm somewhat computer illiterate (not a techy!).
Recommendations? Thanks much.

I have gathered some useful articles below to help you in setting up the router, configuring parental control settings as well the wireless and knowing more about it that may benefit your network. I hope these will help.

Wifi/dsl router parental control

I am looking for a wifi/dsl router that will allow parental control for more than 5 users. i want to limit people to one website. if i have to have a separate dsl modem that is all right but would prefer an all in one solution.

As far as I know, the wireless gateways such as ADSL modem/routers for Linksys can set up Parental Control up to 5 devices only and can block up to 8 URLs either through the web-based set up page or through the Cisco Connect software. If suggest, you get an EA series router and install Smart Wifi firmware because you can enable Parental Control and limit URLs for more than 5 devices. So you will need a separate modem then to set it up for internet connection. You refer to the articles below also I found from the knowledge base site of Linksys.

Is there parental controls you can place on this router to not allow activity on certain websites and times? I know that the Netgear router does this.er

Is it possible to restrict what sites(FB etc.)are accessed through this router and times certain devices can be allowed wifi access?

Not directly on the router but you can setup parental controls through external/3rd party services. For example OpenDNS allows you to setup parental controls which are managed from their site and a separate account. Once you have OpenDNS configured you can tell your 4G LTE router and personal devices to use it as their main DNS service.

The parental control function on my Verizon MI424WR Router does not work

I created few rules on the Parental Control section of my MI424WR Router admin page but it still allows internet access.
Does this router completely shut down the internet access, lets say if I set it 10pm-12am Disable connection? I read someone's comment on another post, MI424WR is actually cuts down the bandwidth into 1/2, but not completely shut down the connection. Is this true? If so this is useless....

Parental controls can block all access. The bandwidth reduction info is wrong.
