Restricting Wireless Access using BT Home Hub

Hi
I am trying to set up my BT home hub so that my daughter can only have limited access (fed up with her being on FB 24/7!)
I thought I had done by using the set up access mode, but I have a feeling that this is not working all the time. Has any one else managed to successfully do this?
Thank you for reading and would be grateful of any advice as this is driving us to the brink!

Did you follow the intructions on this site?

Are you sure that she is not simply bypassing it via the hub manager?
You could change the hub manager password.

Restricting Wireless Access using ACS 3.3

We are currently running ACS 3.3 and I am trying to figure out how to restrict Wireless access to specific user groups. Our current setting is using PEAP and ACS as the Radius. Our user database is mapped to Windows 2003 AD. I've got the PEAP working and the radius authentication is also working but I cannot seem to figure out how to restrict the wireless access to specific Windows/ACS groups.
Erik

Hi,
On ACS 3.3.x You can certinly achive this, al you have to do is configure NAR( Network Access Restriction) Here is the link which should provide you further informatio on it.

Using multiple Home Hubs as access points

I have a BT Infinity connection using a Home Hub 5, however the signal is poor or non existant in parts of my house. I have Cat5e wired to some of the rooms around my house, so could I connect 1 or 2 additional Home Hub 5s to extend/improve the signal? If this is possible is it easy to configure?
Thanks

Connect Netgear access point to Home Hub?

Before I switched to using a Home Hub 2, I was using a Netgear router/modem (DG834G).
And I also had a Netgear WPN802 access point connected to the DG834G router/modem (via ethernet cable), and this enabled me to connect to internet using wifi from another location in my house. Just seemed to work.
But I can't seem to get this to work with the Home Hub. When the access point is plugged in to the Home Hub, it doesn't seem to show up in the Devices part of the Home Hub, and I can't connect to the access point via its default IP address (192.168.0.231). I can't see anything in the Home Hub to configure to make this work. On the access point, the ethernet light is lit, which suggests that it can "see" something on the other end of the cable (and the light goes out when I unplug the other end from the Home Hub).
Any hints?
Thanks.

You will need to change the default IP address of the Netgear WPN802 so that it is in the same subnet as the home hub.
The full details on how to do this are here http://kbserver.netgear.com/pdf/wpn_802_ref_manual.pdf
Look at page 23 and change the IP address in the Basic settings.
You could change it to 192.168.1.231 if you wish. It would still not show on the home hub because it is manually assigned. But it should work fine.
I have an additional Belkin wireless access point on my hub, which uses the address 192.168.1.200, and that works fine.

KEITH BEDDOE - WIRELESS ROUTER TO REPLACE HOME HUB...

Dear Keith - I am new to this site and don't normally subscribe to this type of thing and from reading the forum, you may be the man I need!
Have had my Home Hub 3 for a year now (not on infinity) and have had enough. I have spent endless hours on phone to BT, switched channels, WPA/WPA2 etc - but this router just will not work consistently with all our devices. (If I take the devices to work, or anyone else's house who doesn't have Home Hub 3, they work fine), further, everything else worked fine on my old Home Hub 2 but the signal strength wasn't enough to make it round my house, thus I changed to Home Hub 3. The devices are all set up to Home Hub 3, but I constantly have to reset it because it keeps losing touch with devices. If I reset then everything is fine but then some devices (normally HP, Blackberry, Kindle and Nintendo DS) will start dropping signal.
I have now decided to invest in another wireless router, I have searched the forum but am unsure if any of the suggested products are suitable, so, can you suggest something?
I connect the router via the phone line (is this ADSL) and wireless everything. We have quite a large house, so it needs to cover a good range, and easy to set up because I am a complete novice at all this. These are the items we run on it (there's alot, we are a big family) .....
IPhone x 3
IPad x 1
IPod x 1
Blackberry Playbook x 1
Blackberry Phone x 1
Nintendo Wii x 1
XBox x 1
Nintendo DS x 2
Kindle x 2
Netgear thing for Sky Anytime x 1 (sorry, can't remember what that gadget is called)
HP Laptop x 1
HP PC x 2
HP Printer x 1
I just want a router that will sit prettily on the table and do it's stuff and that I don't have to keep resetting to get a signal from it....
Thanking you in advance for all your help....

As Bullitt says, there are quite a few choices, but the TP-Link TD-W8960N 300MBPS Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router is a popular choice.
It does have external aerials, so coverage should be fairly good. Bear in mind that all wifi routers have the same power output, so router placement and aerial quality are important.
Things like PCs and gaming console are best connected using powerline adapters, and not wireless.

Is there an option on the signal box setup, to specify a static IP address?
If there is, then try the following settings.
IP address 192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254
DNS Server 192.168.1.254
You can then setup port forwarding to that static IP address.

Using btinternet home hub to access sky+ anytime -...

Newbie poster here I have bought a Tenda W150 wireless router to connect my sky+ HD box to my old school home hub 1.0 or even 1.5. I get a service connection fail which according t the sky forum can be cleared by changing the home hub multiplexing setting to LLC. Can someone tell me how I do that please? Ta Tel

You cannot change any settings like that within the BT home hub, it is locked down.
There are people on this forum using Sky Anytime without problems, if you do a forum search, especially on the Infinity forum.

Wireless Connection Problems for Home Hub 3 and Vi...

We have upgraded from BT Home Hub 2 to version 3 and had a BT man (engineer) visit to set it up. He did so with no problems on our PC (wired, runnning XP) and installed all relevant software on the PC and this is connected which so far has been fast (enough - as expected) and reliable. Once the 'main' computer in the house was connected we then tried to connect other things to the internet using this BT Hub 3.
However when attempting to connect our family laptop (running Vista) we hit trouble. Initially I tried to use the icon in the tray (bottom right of the screen) by clicking on connect to a network, then selecting our hub, then inputting the wireless key and going through the menus correctly. It would only connect 'locally' and not recognise the hub. It says identifying then says unidentified (public network BT Hub 3) and only 'local' access which I then change to private network. With my preivious internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT NOT Home, Work or Public.
So I then tried the BT disc that comes with the hub into the laptop. I go through the menus - it asks is the broadband light steady blue? Yes. Click next to continue wireless set up. So I press continue. It then asks for the wireless network/SSID BTHub3- numbers and letters and the wireless key. So I put that in correctly (double checking) and click next. It then says Connecting to your Hub which then gets ticked but then the checking wireless key doesn't tick - it crosses, and says failed. It asks me to check I typed the numbers and letters correctly (I am sure of that) and It goes to Manuel set up. Where I select my hub and again type in the wireless key and click next. But the same thing happens - connecting to your hub gets ticked but checking wireless key fails.
I then get a message that says i should do a wired set up, which I can do and works but on the laptop wired solutions is just not satisfactory - laptops need wireless connectivity. Is this a problem with my laptop, Vista or the hub/modem or a combination.
I also have been able to connect other things to the internet such as a netbook (running Windows 7) and a games console. Please comment if anthing needs explaining or more detail. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

John46: I uninstalled the Hub programmes you said to. I then tried to connect to a network (wirelessly - accessed either by going to Start - Connect to or from the icon in the tray (bottom right). I selected my hub and clicked connect. It does its thing and says 'successfully connected to...' I close that and go onto Network and Sharing Center and it shows its trying to identify the network and wait a few seconds it then shows 'unidentified network (public network)...' and that I have only got local access and so cannot surf the web.
As I mentioned in my earlier post:
With my previous Internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT not got the choice between Home, Work or Public.
Hope I've explained myself.

Printing to a printer connected to a wireless DSL Router (BT Home Hub)

Hi as a newbie (sub 1 week) to apple and wishing I had started years ago (all the family want mac now) I have managed to do everything I want except integrate my network printer.
I have a BT Home Hub which supports network printing on a specific IP address, all the families windows based pc's laptops can print to 192.168.1.253. I have tried scouring the internet for clues and apples support pages but found nothing that works.
I am connecting to the hub using airport and can see other pcs on the network, so sharing windows based files isn't a problem.
Nay help is gratefully received

No, the problem wasn't ever solved. So I compromised and finally hooked up the free printer that came with my Mac. Although I wasn't able to share a printer, I was able to access files and print them kind of the hard way by enabling windows sharing under Sys Prefs > Sharing > Windows Sharing. And then you need to click on accounts and enter your password. Then use the key that the Mac gives you (Should be something like \\192.168.1.1##\shortname) and then on your PC, go to "My Network Places" and click on "Set up a network place." When prompted choose to enter the location yourself and enter the number address given on the Mac. After that a box should pop up asking you for your name and password (which is that of the Mac) and then you should be able to access all of the files that are on your Mac from your PC and print directly that way. Hope that helped someone. And if anyone can still help me print wirelessly, please do!

NAT TYPE 3 on PS3 using BT HOME HUB

Recently I have noticed that my NAT Type has changed from OPEN to STRICT on my PS3. This is causing problems when connecting to online games. Quite often I will not be able to connect to game, friends will not be able to connect to me if I am host and also I get signed off the PSN network randomly. This has only started happening recently.
I have read about this on other threads and it appears to be a problem with the BT HOME HUB. I have the older white version (not sure what model type).
Can anyone advise if BT intend to address this common problem with connecting to online games through a BT Home Hub?
It would appear that obtaining NAT Type 2 from NAT Type 3 can be quite a tricky process. Again I would be grateful if anyone has any advice on how to do this and whether ti is worth trying.
If this issue is not resolved soon I may have to consider if I will renew my contract with BT as it would appear it is a recent upgrade to the BT Home Hub that has caused the problem.
I did not have any major connection issues until recently.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

try this mate,it was for my old bt205 but when i got my first hub i had to use these settings also.oh and another 1 to look for is in your hub settings 192.168.1.254 then go in to advanced settings and look at your network ( have your xbox on ) your hub should list the things connected to it,now pick the xboxlive from the dropdown box and pair it up this should always give you open nat,if it goes strict again unplug router/hub power line for 2 mins then reboot and reboot your 360.

Connection issue with PS3 using BT home hub 5

Hi guys i have recently switched to BT infifnity and the BT home hub 5, now i cannot acces the playstation store, i can sign in, i can get on the web, I can got to amazon and download a film,etc, but everytime ive gone to the store is says the its down for scheduled maintenance, and i know thats not the case as ive phoned Sony support who have told me thats not the case. ive tried port forwarding , and putting the PS3 into DMZ?...but nothing seems to work , I cant find anything online about it either, so any help would be most welcome. Thanks.

Sorry I missed the bit about the PS3 store is the problem and everything else is fine,I replied to a topic earlier linked below.
http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS3/PlayStation-Store/m-p/23497490#M2056477
In a nutshell delete and re-install the Playstation store app and check your PS3's systems date and time is correct.

Restricting Wireless Access...Why Aren't Parental Controls Working?

We're pretty new to OSX. Just got my son an iBook, and we're looking to not let him hop on the wireless network in the house (we want him to access the Internet only from a lan cable in the kitchen...keeping him out of harm's way). I'm set up as the administrator, and we've gone into his account and disabled his ability to modify Airport Utility. And then we turn it off, but when we go back into his account, he can still access the Internet wirelessly. What might we be doing wrong?

The Airport Utility is only used to configure an Airport Base Station, it has no effect on wireless connectivity.
What you'll need to do is go into the Network pane in System Preferences. Click on the Show menu and select Network Port Configurations. Uncheck the box next to the airport card. Then, click the little lock at the bottom of the system preferences window to make the Network preferences un-editable without the admin password.
Good Luck.

Restricting Internet access using ARD

I am trying to restrict students for accessing the internet using ARD. Students accounts are set using Workgroup Manager. Under preferences, I did not allow Dock.app or Safari in the list of aproved applications. I also only selected applications I allow them to use to be in the dock and did not allow them to merge their dock.
One group still has Safari listed in the dock.
The others can still get to the internet using dashboard and going to weather settings.
How can I eliminate this access.

One option is to send the unix command:
ipfw add 2005 deny tcp from any to any 80 out xmit en0
This will block the standard internet port. If the computers are restarted then it will go back to normal. To get rid of the rule without actually restarting use this command.
ipfw delete 2005
Note: They have to be done with the root (or admin) user.

Restrict URL Access using location directive

I'm trying to restrict access to a URL using the location directive in Apache.
I want to allow access to "/analytics/saw.dll?WSDL" to everyone and restrict access to "/analytics/saw.dll?Answers" to certain IPs.
Putting the URLs in location directives doesnt seem to work. I believe the problem is the ? which is a wildcard.
<Location /analytics/saw.dll?WSDL>
Allow from all
</Location>
<Location /analytics/saw.dll?Answers>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.2.161

Can anyone help?

Hi,
1.
What about using an Authorization Scheme and then using Security of Page Attributes.
In fact it is schema of users, roles, and passwords.
2.
f?p=App:Page:Session:Request:Debug:ClearCache:itemNames:itemValues:PrinterFriendly
f?p=6000:6004:&SESSION.::NO:6003:MY_ITEM1,MY_ITEM2,MY_ITEM3:1234,,5678
This example:
* Runs page 6004 of application 6000 and use the current session ID
* Clears the current session's cache for items on page 6003
* Indicates debug information should be hidden (NO)
* Sets the value of MY_ITEM1 to 1234, sets the value of MY_ITEM2 to null
(indicated by the comma used as placeholder), and sets the value of MY_ITEM3 to 5678
- Into Column Attributes/Column Link/Link Text pick an icon.
- Select for Attributes/Column Link/Target “URL” for table Emp_Address and into URL field type:
javascript: popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.: 6004:&SESSION…………');
You can use the value of any Item. Then in the URL link page check that item.
Moreover, you can use f?p=&APP_ID.: 6004:&SESSION…..My_Item:#ReportColumnName#.......
I hope this would help.

Can I use old Home Hub (White one) on Infinity ? M...

I upgraded to Infinity a few months ago.
The black v2.0 hub has developed a hardware fault......power light on, but can't connect to the DSL Modem.
I have tried all the resets (power......hard reset button, etc), and reported the fault.
A replacement is on order, but will take a few days to arrive.
I still have the old white Hub and was wondering if I could use that while I wait for the replacement v2.0 to arrive.
As users of BT Vision, it is a right pain having to wait for the new unit.
Any (relevent) advice appreciated..........

white hub will not work with infinity
