WRT310N - Access restriction not functioning by MAC address

I am trying to block internet access on my kids computer so they can do homework weekday nights.
I have it set to Deny on a specific MAC address (yes, I double checked the MAC ID), for specific hours during the week.
Yet the internet access still exists during these times.

Try with IP address, but most of the times the Access restrictions on the Linksys router doesn't function correctly. Go for some third party software, which can serve your purpose.

The first problem windows 7-8.1 got IP adress and connect he public HotSpot but cannot load login page or any other page. It does not work with it.
The second problem Wifi canrd/configure/Advandes (No network adress change function).Tested with the default windows driver and the ralink rt 3070 driver the same problem.On windows XP the same function the same driver works perfectly.
multiple users to have expressed interest in the problem But Microsoft not corrected the problem window7-8.1 10?

On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

Hi,
For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited. To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
bit (locally administered) in the second nibble. Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
In other words
MAC address: “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal. The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is Y: “kmnp”, where “p” is the least significant bit;
p=0 --> unicast;
p=1 --> multicast;
n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
n=1 --> locally administered;
So, actually MAC can be changed to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
“Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
For the wifi hotspot issue, please check this blog to see if it can be helpful.

E3000 Deny Access Restrictions not releasing

I've just recently purchased a Cisco E3000 router.
I've set up 3 Access Restriction - Deny policies using IP addresses.  Unless someone has a better idea I found I needed two policies to Deny from late at night (say 10.00pm) till first thing the next morning. As this spans two days I needed a Deny policy from 10pm till midnight, and another for the next day from midnight till say 7.00am.
Now to my problem, the laptops get 'Deny'ed exactly as they should within a few minutes of the set time, problem is they do not reconnect the next morning after the Deny time has passed.
Cisco help wasn't any help, and wanted me to use Cisco Connect. However the overly simplistic options it provides are next to useless for me.   The web option has more flexibility, if only it'd work.
Do I need to need to force an Allow to override the Deny but establishing a fifth policy just for this purpose? Don't know if this'll work but I've got no other ideas.
All help greatly appreciated

Anyhow, I'll answer my own question based on one nights experience.
Made the 5th (and last, don't know why all the reviews say you can have 10 policies, there are only 5) an Allow policy for the previously restricted IP addresses with the parameters of Allow everyday for 24 hours.
Last night the Deny policies as the first in the list worked correctly and the two restricted laptops had access back again at the set time. So on a test of one night it's all working correctly.
The trick was the inclusion of a universal Allow policy as the last policy to force a release of the Deny policies. I'll post again if it doesn't work at some point in the future.

HT1178 How do I restrict access to my network to mac addresses?

I am setting-up a new Time Capsule and wish to restrict access to my wireless network to only those mac addresses of my equipment. I can't find instructions on how to do this. Any help in pointing me to the correct resource would be appreciated.

Suggest that you check the Help area in AirPort Utility for instructions.

WRT310N Access Restriction tab

I just recently updated the firmware in my router from 1.0.04 to the newest 1.0.07 build 14. I felt the need to update since my router would randomly stop broadcasting a wireless signal and after a few minutes come back. but that's not the issue, since the new firmware doesn't do this(yet, *crosses fingers*).
Since the update, I've noticed one thing. The "access restriction" feature on the router isn't there anymore. Live support says they've never seen that happen before, and directed me to the HDN stuff on the LELA software(After telling me to do the standard stuff for 5 minutes). I see the feature kind of available in there in a more "user-friendly" way. I don't understand how the feature could be missing on the main GUI but available through some software. I, personally cannot warrant paying for the HDN stuff just for the access restriction tab controls that were previously free and continue to be free on other routers, and most other people probably don't as well. But I'm interested in seeing if others have noticed this as well and what the general community thought is about this.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you reset your router to factory defaults it goes back to the old firmware 1.0.04...With the old firmware if you don't have any issues then try to upgrade your router to the latest firmware...Wait another next firmware release...
However, if you have any issues with the old firmware then you should try to upgrade your router with the TFTP Utility...
Download TFTP Utility
Download Firmware 3.23 MB...
Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.1...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the router. By default, the router’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...
Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done 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...See if this works...

Accessing iPhone notes from the Mac

Hi All,
OK...
I'd like to access the notes in my iPhone's Notes App from my Macbook...I thought with ML I would at last be able to do that... alas it seems not.
Currently the notes I have on my iPhone are in a specific account within Notes known as "On My iPhone". This "On My iPhone" account does not show up in the new Notes App on my Mac...even though it presumably syncs in the back-up to iTunes.
Does anyone know how can I easily shift these Notes from the "On My iPhone" account to the "iCloud" account?
I am aware they can be copied, one by one to the iCloud Notes account...but I'm after a clever solution...I have well over a hundred of these things...and I'd also quite like to keep the notes' original properties, like their date.
Thanks in advance...

Ah well, a few reasons maybe...
I kinda stopped using the Mail app a while back mainly because I found that draft emails were not being synced back up to Gmail reliably..
I started using Mail again when it integrated Notes...and I started to use mobileme account for notes at that time too...
But then I had a few negative/frustrating experiences where edits I made to notes via the phone were lost, either due to a poor network connection or a syncing snafu with mobileme (which incidentally wasn't as rare as one might have expected).
I decided after that to go back to the safety of editing notes and storing them locally on the phone.
So, that's the background.
Do you think there will be a clever way to address the situation or is it a lost cause?

Actiontec router not accepting new mac addresses

I have the Actiontec MI424-WR Hardware revision D. I have put MAC addresses in the router before and all those devices are working fine.Now it seems I can't add any new addresses. I am using WEP 64/40.
Tried the powering it off deal, no luck. Anone know why this is happening?

First an obligitory ... you really need to upgrade to at least WEP 128 but preferably WPA2. Wep64 is very weak. Additionally, understand that Mac address restriction is almost as much a myth as "turning off SSID broadcast" in terms of providing any additional security. The first packet that traverses your network gives anyone who wants to spoof a device which is allowed on your network the information they need to defeat Mac locking.
In general Mac locking and SSID broadcast hiding provide no real security and just serve to make your life more difficult.
With that said ...
I've seen that happen and one way I managed to fix it was to turn off Mac locking and apply it. Then come back and re-enable it and add the necessary systems. Failing that, I've emptied the list, turned off the Mac locking, applied, and then re-enabled and added everyone back it. A pain, but it worked.
Two other things I've occasionally missed myself:
1. New addresses get added to the bottom of the list initially (i.e. you may need to scroll the list box down).
2. After applying, I've seen the list order change -- so the Mac may move to somewhere in the middle of the list
3. Attempting to add an address twice doesn't work (i.e. make sure it's not already in the list).
Sounds silly, but I've done each of these myself at one time or another and kicked myself when I finally realized it.
Hope one of those works for you.

CSCsy35054 - NP1/2 UDP conns not updated when MAC address changes

We have a customer that appears to be experiencing this bug but with FWSM 4.1(15).
There is a Linux HA solution on one side of the FWSM and when a failover occurs the Linux HA sends a Gratuitous ARP which updates the FWSM ARP cache however not all connections are updated. If we sniff traffic exiting the FWSM we can see the destination MAC address for 'some' existing connections have the wrong MAC address (the old MAC address). The clients are constantly sending traffic (SIP) to the Linux server so the connection states are continually refreshed. If we manually clear the connections or let them time out by disconnecting one of the SIP clients for 30-minutes (the default SIP control channel session timeout) it recovers, however this isn't practical.
We have recommended introducing a layer-3 hop between the FWSM and the Linux HA devices as we suspect this will solve the problem (i.e. the destination MAC will be the L3 next-hop and not the Linux server itself). In looking at the issue we identified the behaviour as the same as that documented under BugID: CSCsy35054, however this says it appeared in 3.2(6) and was fixed in 3.2(12.1) & 4.0(5.4) however we are running 4.1(15) which is the latest release.
Any other ideas?
Andy

Well your configuration looks great to me... nothing is obviously standing out at least..
If the routers ping request makes it to your client, then the router must at least be able to arp for you.
Have you tried to ping the gateway from the WLC itself? (vlan 171 it appears)
I'm curious if the WLC even gets the ping through. 'show arp switch' on the WLC would show its arp table as well...
I'm not very proficient with the router debugging, but perhaps there is some kind of ARP debug you can run to verify if the ARP request is even coming out of the WLC from your client?
Again, the config looks go to me, so either this is a situation where a nice save config and reboot would come in handy (perhaps coupled with shutting down the interfaces and turning them back on)..... or something just isn't right....
Does this happen with the other vlans you have coming in to the WLC? Perhaps there is just something going on the router side where it isn't responding to the arp.... which comes back to the whole shutting down interfaces and/or rebooting. Obviously this isn't root-cause, but should at least provide sanity-check.

Why can I only see my facebook photos through other OS access but not on my Mac using Firefox or Safari?

I have access to Facebook on a windows OS but not on my MAC.
My friend can access his FB and view his photos through his account, but I cannot view my photos, even with the same laptop and same browser -even when I log onto FB right after he logs off? Why?

You need to explain that. Do you mean :
You AND your friend can both view FB photos using Windows via Bootcamp on a Mac, but not in OS X?
You can both view your FB photos on a Windows PC but you can't on your Mac?
Your friend can see his FB photos on your Mac but you can't see yours?

WRT150N Access Restrictions Not Working

Good day everyone.
I read posts that were similar to my problem in the forum but none of the solutions suggested solved my current quandary.
I am using a WRT150N with firmware v1.00.5. I have a Linux setup with Squid connected to the network with the gateway 192.168.23.254. The WRT150N has a gateway of 192.168.23.1. The WRT150N is also connected to an Apple Base Station which serves as the Access Point for WiFi users.
Squid limits access for IP addresses listed under the .254 gateway. But once I change my gateway to 23.1, everything is accessible. I want to block sites as well on the WRT150N. But every time I try to put a new Access Restriction, it doesn't work.
I put in the IP Addresses on which to apply this restriction:
The reason it skips addresses is because, the addresses are reserved. I click on Save Settings here and I save the settings again on the main page.
Everytime I try to test it on the given addresses, I can still access the pages. Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try to upgrade/ re flash the firmware on your router.
Connect computer with the Ethernet cable to the router Ethernet port.
Download the firmware from the Linksys website .
Open the setup page of the router.
Go to the Administration tab and go to the sub tab Firmware upgrade.
Browse and select the downloaded firmware and upgrade the firmware .
After upgrading the firmware reset and reconfigure the router settings manually .
And see if that helps you .

Contacts do not sync from Mac Address Book to iPhone

When I add new contacts in my Mac Address Book or modify existing contacts and then do a sync (using iTunes), the changes do not appear on my iPhone 3GS. Everything else seems to update but not the contacts.
I have verified that I have sync contacts set, have tried unsetting and resetting it, tried removing all contacts from iPhone and redoing, tried replace contacts with those from computer, etc, etc. Still the same result - the old contacts on the iPhone.
This seems to be since the latest OS updates (Mac & iPhone). It used to work fine.
What to do?

Wjosten,
Finally back to you on this. The delay was because the proposed operations were beyond my comfort zone - and I was fearful of loosing my contacts and groups (critically important).
With more time available, I made an appointment with a "Genius" at the Apple Store (Paris Opera). He could not fix it but gave me the good advice to contact Mobile Me and set up a chat support session.
It took several hours but the chat support person guided me through the process of saving my data, and then trashing the files in the cache and library folders and a few others, and finally restoring things - group by group.
Part of the problem was also conflicts between the calendars on my two MacBook Pros, my iPhone, and MobilMe.
Long and complicated but things are now working.
Thanks for trying to help.

HT5500 Facebook photos not integrating into Mac Address Book and iMessage

Anyone have any idea why ALL my Facebook contacts photos aren't flowing into my address book on my Mac & iMessage (on Mac)? Most of them are, but not all of them. I have tried "updating contacts" under Facebook settings on my iPhone several times.

Ill take a look at that website. I have heard you can sync with Gmail or Yahoo. The problem is Ive never stored contacts there. There's a lot more spam in those histories than contacts Id want to keep.
I wasnt asking about a particular phone but in general. Im not really a techie and I currently have an older non-smartphone.
Im assuming if I had an iphone, there would be an easy way to transfer or sync the address book. If t here isnt, then Id be very surprised.
I might have to go with an Android or other phone only because the monthly plans on the iphone are much more expensive.
I was also wondering in general how it works with Verizon or Sprint since they dont have SIM cards.
Ill look at that site you recommended; thanks

Why is iCloud not syncing with mac address book

Addresses changed on Mac are not reliably going to the icloud. Calendars work fine, but not addresses?
Lion on MacBook Pro
Mike

Turns out I was cloning a contact using copy and paste. This created the new contact on Lion and I could edit the name to a new one, etc. however, that contact was not going to iCloud. I sent it to my email as an attachment. When opened on iPad or iPhone in iOS5 the contact info was all blank. Wow, what a surprise! Doesn't sound right to me but that is what is happening. Any contact I fully enter or edit anywhere updates thru iCloud on Lion, iPad or iPhone.
At least I now understand the behavior...don't like it, but now I know not to create contacts with copy/paste!
So does anyone know of an easy way to clone contacts when I have a dozen people to add from the same address?

IMessages not functioning on Mac OS X 10.8.2

I cant decide if this is a Mountain Lion problem or not... I updated to ML and all was fine. I recently got a new iPhone and set that up for iMessage etc. This was in England. I have recently moved to South America. My account is still attached to England to make use of the wider store.
Since I set up the phone, it seems, my iMessages cannot be sent or received on my Mac. They come through fine on the iPad and iPhone, but even when I compose on the Mac, they go off into the ether and it doesnt even show up in the conversation window as being sent. I know for sure the messages are going nowhere.
I have tried to disable my Google Chat, I have logged off and on again for iMessage. I have checked all the settings and they are all set up to receive and send from @gmail and @icloud accounts.
Can anyone please help?

Hi,
I went off to read Eric's link.
The Link says it was updated on the 18th Feb 2013 but actually reads about Messages in OS X 10.8 and 10.8.1 and pre iOS 6 on the iPhone.
After the OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6 updates the iPhone Number was also included in the Sync to the Messages app on the Mac.
So the iPhone is managing using at least the Cell/Mobile Phone Coverage to Receive and Send iMessages but the Mac is not.
I take it the Mac is using the same Apple ID ?
If Wifi or Ethernet on the Mac is the iPhone using the same Network ?
You seem to be saying the Mac Messages app is starting up and you are thinking you are sending iMessages but nothing is clear.
Are you getting a list (even if One) Chats down the Left hand side of the main Message window ?
If you click on them what is then in the text field on the Bottom of the right hand pane ?
Does it read iMessages ?
Your references to Googletalk and @icloud.com have me a bit confused.
An Googlemail ID can have the "talk" option Enabled at your Google Settings an then the ID can be used in Messages.
The Apple ID can be used for both iMessages and as an Valid AIM Screen Name (you have to enter it is iMessages and as an AIM account in the Add Account Pane).
I am not entirely sure you are using it in AIM or iMessages or whether it is separate from iMessages.
I did not receive any emails alerts from the posts I made yesterday.
It is also Late here so it will be a while before I get back

Access Connections not functioning/displaying correctly

I recently (today) reset my T410 to factory settings, and have been updating my software etc.
At first (after factory restore) Access Connections worked fine; however, I then ran Lenovo System Update, and now Access Connections doesnt "see" any networks, and doesnt read as connected even though I am currently connected.
I tried downloading the most recent version (g1c796ww.exe) and installing it, but this has not solved my problem.
The internet works fine, yet Access Connections doesnt seem to be doing anything.

So, I uninstalled Access Connections and reinstalled via Lenovo Update.
It now works, yet i could only innitially connect via "details" and not graphical... after which the graphical interface now reads the network as being there and connected (it took a while for it to show up)
I will update whether or not this "fix" sticks.
For those of you who are like "Why use Access Connections at all?",--I like the customizable profiles (performance vs power savings, proxy etc)
