Setting time access restrictions

I'd like to use time access restrictions to allow access from 7AM to 1AM; but software won't allow. Am I missing something or is it that inflexible? I used to be able to do this without a problem with my Cisco router.

Did you try this?
Develop one rule for access everyday between 7 AM and 11:59 PM
Develop a second rule for access everyday between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM
Works fine. There will be no break in the connection.

How to set 'colliding' access restrictions in wrt610n - what are rule preferences?

Hello. I want to set up access restrictions to one MAC address (my kid's machine) basing on week days. From Su to Th allow less access time while during Fr-Sa afternoons access time should be longer. The question is how to program it in router. I know I can set rules with "allow" and "disable" keyword, but I don't know rules preference.
When I set (Su-Th 6-21) allowed access time then router automatically denies defined machine internet access outside this time range. The problem is in the power of thus calculated denying time. I want to allow more access time in weekend, so I hoped if I can simply add "Fr-Sa 6-22:30 allowed access time" rule. I hoped that router will regard explicitly set time over inexplicitly set time but it appears it is not so.
Does anyone know the rule of rules? What are their preferences/priorieties, iis it possible to stack more rules affecting one MAC address or it is so simple that the first rule "rulez"? Is it possible to set more than one time rule affecting the one machine?

Agh! Thanks for your reply, it was good incentive to test the problem little more. Now I'm pretty sure that wrt610n algorithm has problem - it lies with power cuts. In my flat, the last internet user usually turns off power board when goes to sleep. After power is resumed router seemed to work flawlessly yet herein lies the problem and I hope I've found solution.
The tests I have done:
1. 2 rules (as mentioned in my first post). Kid's machine works (this is day now). Didn't played with rules times. Just turned router off. When router was turned on, two other (parents) machine get internet access while kid's machine didn't! Kid's machine was banned from internet against the rules. Router has proper time set - I checked it's status.
2. I turned both rules to "disable access" versions (1. disable access Su-Th 21-23:55; 2. disable access Fr-Sa 22:30-23:55). This rules should work almost the same way (the only problem is, that no rule can expand over midnight, so the third rule should be added, banning access from midnigts to early mornings). The router was switched off. Then on. All three machines now has internet access. I hope, router will ban access in the afternoon automatically, as is set
My deduction. Algorithm bases on time points. When marked time comes, algorithm do, what it should do (but only, if router is powered). When you set "turn internet access on" time (this is "allow rule"), router turns on the access precisely at the chosen moment of time. If router was dead at that time, it doesn't turn the access on however, when power is restored. But when you set "disable rules" in place of "enable rules" I hope it should work and I tested, that this way router gives access after turning it on. Router should disable internet access to the kid's machine at selected time - at least until smart kid does not turn the router off a few seconds before the switch_off time and soon after turn it on But then there is plenty of more powerfull means of control, so I don't worry too much Yet it seems to me, there is a flaw in algorithm, which doesn't run properly after power on.

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.
Here is the link for setting up the Access Restrictions on a Linksys router: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=20b29e54474a4a17aff594cb659747ea_4041.xml&pid=80&r...

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.

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.

Access restriction policy

I own a e2000 router with the latest firmware. Set up access restriction policy for the mobile devices from my children. Deny policy based on Mac adress. Sometimes it works en sometimes it won' t work. It seems that my children keep using for instance whatssapp busy that the internet connections keeps open despite the policy. Does anyone know a solution for this?
kind regards,
cees

Thanks Jake,
Ik know that factory reset is possible via the webinterface. My quenstion was if it is possible to do a scheduled reboot with a option in the firmware? Indeed the time-zone is important. I checked this.
Does anybody know if access restriction policy works on a live internet connection? For example: my daughter uses her smartphone with Facebook and she uses it from 16:00 tot 17:00 hour and the policy is that at 16:30 it must be blocked? Or can the policy only work on a connection when it starts up (and then checks the time in the policy to know if a restriction is possible.
cheers

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.

Annoying popup in Access Restrictions

I just installed my new E4200, and am setting the Access Restrictions. Is there anyway to block the popup window that displays every time I enter the form or save the settings?
I'm using IE9 and have tried adjusting the Popup Blocker, but to no avail.
Chuck

I have no idea what the reasoning was during the development of this page, but from a user's standpoint, I believe that displaying a popup this frequently is annoying. As a software engineer with over 30 years experience, I'm a firm believer that the user's point of view should be considered when developing an application. Therefore, I would never subject a user to this barrage of popups.
If there is a method for submitting change requests, please let me know.

WRT610N V2 Access restrictions & https protocol (bug?)

In case this helps anyone else.
I was having problem setting up a simple access restriction. A 'Everyday' time blockage for one particular MAC address.
When I changed the time range and tried to save the change I would lose contact with the router and it would not take effect.
I have the router set to use https. I administer it over wireless using the html interface from Firefox on various WIndows machines.
What seems to be the problem is that I cannot save the settings change in https mode. When I do that I do not get confirmation that the setting was changed and the router changes back to http mode - so continued attempts to reach it on https fail.
Once I get smart enough to change back to http I can access it. I see the change was not saved. The interface still has the https option checked... I have to toggle it off and toggle it back on to re-stablish https operation.
(I am using the current 2010 firmware release)
Solved!

Thanks that did it - re-reading your post I perhaps didn't do it quite right - I did the full reset before flashing it but it seems to have worked.
Also I found I did not have the latest firmware - not sure why I missed it before as I definitely checked since the created date - but perhaps it was uploaded later. That resolved a couple of other minor issues I had.
One minor remaining irritation is I think I cannot set an access restriction between 23:55 and 24:00. Assuming it still doesn't allow a Deny time range crossing midnight then the latest end time I can set it to is 11:55 PM (I tried 12:00 AM but it refused to permit an end time prior to the start time).
Hope my son doesn't discover that 5 minute window.

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.

Access restriction based on Sales Units / Sales Area

Hi all,
I am looking into the access restriction functionality on business roles.
One of our customers has a requirement to separate data between their different sales organisations. One sales organisation should not see customers, opportunities of the other sales organisation and vice versa.
In the access restriction I see that the access context defines on which elements you can set the access restriction.
For customers and opportunities the possibilities are: Employee or Territory.
Setting the access restriction on Employees is not a solid solution for me (when the employees are changed in the org model, the access restriction is influenced on several business roles..)
So what if we do not use territory management / if the territory management setup differs from the actual sales areas / sales units?
So my main questions are: can we set access restriction based on Sales Units? (we will setup integration with SAP ERP which means we cannot enter sales areas for prospects...). And can we influence the access context or do we need developments for that?
Kind regards,
Jasper

We plan to enhance the access restrictions based on sales organization and distribution channel in a future release.
If you setup territory management, we offer sales office and sales group including sales organization as attributes to define a territory if you are connected with SAP ERP.

Access Restriction on EA3500 does not work.

I tested this with my laptop by setting its access restriction/parental control to always not access the internet. But still my laptop can still search through wikipedia. Is this because of the router firmware? By the way I'm using the latest Connect cloud firmware. Thanks in advance.

I believe parental control is not really busted, it's just designed to work only with ipv4. What you can try though is to try the following:
Make sure that the laptop is only wirelessly connected to the router, because if the laptop was connected both wired and wireless then parental controls will not work since the laptop will be using two adapters.
Remove the entry under target devices, disable parental controls and save the settings.
Enable parental controls, add a target device, save the settings
Try to check if you can access wikipedia or other website because if parental control was working then it should add for a password
Try also to check the router's status tab if there's an ipv6 ip address because if there is, then parental controls will not work

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.

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.
