WRT54GL Cannot get access restrictions to work

I purchased a WRT54GL router (v1.1 with firmware 4.30.7) and I cannot for the life of me get the access restrictions to work. I made three policies, one for my PC with 24/7 access and one for the kids PC with access from 7pm to 9pm during the weekdays and another for the kids PC with access from 12pm to 10pm on the weekends. whenever I enable the policies, my PC can access the internet but the kids cannot (of course during the proper times). When I disable their policies they still cannot get on till I also disable my policy. I have gone thru everything I can think of including multiple hard resets but access restriction simply will not work.
Of course there is no mention of my hardware or firmware version anywhere on the linksys support system! Anyone have any thoughts?

hmmmmmm... have you tried using the IP address instead? based on my experience, the Acces Restriction policies are a bit tricky.
Too bad the WRT54g has no parental controls which is a lot easier to configure.

Can't get Access Restrictions to work WRT54G v3

I am trying to get a cell phone to have access to my LAN from 3am to 7am. I gave the policy a name, allowed access, checked everyday and the time 3a to 7a. Under edit list of PCs, I entered the MAC address of the phone, and I have also entered the MAC address of the phone on the wireless>edit mac filter list, though didn't know if I should.
Anyway, I can't seem to get the Access Restriction to work and would appeciate any guidance...thanks

How do I get Access Restrictions to work

I have a WRT54GS with firmware ver 7.50.0. I would like to set up time restrictions (14 year old - self explanatory) and don't know how to go about it. I have gone in and set up times, but it has no effect.
I may be going out on a limb here and hope the explanation isn't too technical. I have read quite a few posts...and feel quite lucky that I got this thing set up in the first place as everyone seems to be much more technical than I am. Any help in as simple terms as possible would be appreciated!!
Also, supposing I get this to work, is there a way to limit what networks her laptop can access? Apparently a neighbor has a wireless network that she can access so if I time limit mine she could just connect to that one. Thx!

I actually DID get it to work yesterday, but not really in the way I had wanted. I found the MAC address in Linksys EasyLink Advisor. (thx for the other directions gv) All I had to do was check the 'advanced view' box and it gives you that and the IP address. Anyway, I set it up to start at 5:30 pm, about 3 minutes from the time it was right then. My daughter was on and didn't complain about getting kicked off, so I thought it didn't work. Then we had to leave for a while and when we came back, she went to get on and came to tell me it was telling her "local" only, or some similar message. She couldn't get on MY network. Unfortunately, she got on the neighbors.
So I guess it works to the extent of preventing logging on, while I was hoping it would kick her off at 9 or 10 pm. But I also found, when I went in to change the time to something else so she could access my network then, it made the desktop and her laptop run *really* slow. I ended up powering down the router and bringing it back up and then it was ok.
It seems this is not really going to do the job I had hoped and with the neighbor's network available, she can get on anytime. Is there a way to make the laptop not be able to connect to a particular network?
We have had talks about the dangers, etc. and I trust her, it's the problem of not being able to pull herself away from it. I can go on and on about it, just like I do about cleaning her bathroom or bedroom, but every day it's like I never said it. She's a teenager. Sooooo, when it comes down to it, I will phyically have to take away the laptop when I decide enough is enough. I'd rather blame the technology, but if I have to be the bad guy, I will.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

I cannot get "home sharing" to work on my Apple TV device

I cannot get "home sharing" to work on Apple TV.I
I type in my apple id and password to no avail.
Why isn't the apple tv device taking this info and activating home share?

I am having the same problems with Home Sharing using the Apple TV. The problems seemed to appears to have started within the last week or so. Did updates and all. Went to the Apple TV and it couldn't see either Home Share on either computers that Home Share is turned ON. Reset the routers, reinstalled iTunes on the iMac and MacBookPro. Created a second Wi-Fi Access point using a Airport Express. Put the MacBookPro and TimeCapsule on the same network and still no love to see the Home Share contents.
We have had both Mac's and Apple TV for several years and have never had any problems like this.

Does anyone know if iCloud is offline? I cannot get my mail to work this AM

Does anyone know if iCloud is offline? I cannot get my mail to work this AM

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion. This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it. I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date. It is usually correct, to within a few weeks. A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
I hope this helps.

I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

Roger that. Thanks for your time.
System:
Windows 7 64bit
Processor: AMD phenom IIX4 965
RAM: Gskill Ripsaw F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM (2-2GB sticks)
GPU:EVGA Classified Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 core
PSU: Kingwin 1000W laser gold (LZG-1000)
Yes. tried the one ram stick, no go. I have been trying to boot off/install the windows 7 disk but am unable to get to the point where windows starts installing after its gathering information portion of the install. I can get to the disk selection screen of the install with the WD HD on SATA port 2 but then get the "cant install messages" when I try to select the Vertex 3. Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point. some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times.

I have recently installed the new OSX Lion on my 2009 MacBook. Now I cannot get access to my Windows-Partition, which is on the harddisk. I cannot choose to boot from LION OSX or Windows. Who can help?

I have recently upgraded my MacBook to OSX Lion. Now I cannot get access to my windows-partition. I cannot choose booting from OSX Lion or Windows. Who can help???

I believe that Lion and Mountian Lion use BootCamp 4.0 and earlier versions used 3.0. I don't use BootCamp but from reading The link below you need to get new drivers, burn a cd and install. Check out #20 on this page.

I once created an account and changed meanwhile my Apple ID. Now, when trying to log in to iCloud, I get the message: "You are already logged in". I cannot get access to the account in the way, that, for example, the options appear on the right hand side.

What can I do?

Thank you, pvonk, but:
To be more precise: I am talking about the logging-in within the System Preferences on my iMac.
When trying to log in with the old ID, I get no access, i.e. it says "Try again"...-Trying the same with the new one gives me the result I mentioned in my first question...
Now I found out how to do it: I had to erase all accounts-then I could sign in with my Apple-ID. Thanks again.

I cannot get airport extreme to work. Can you help me?

I have a G5 Power PC. I recently purchased a macbook and an Airport Extreme. I cannot get the airport to work. Can somebody help me please??
G5 Power PC and macbook Mac OS X (10.3.9) new OS X on Macbook

I plug the ethernet from the airport to the back of the modem (a Webstar unit) from my cable provider. Then I plug the other cable from the back of the airport into my G5. Then plug in the power cord. I get lots of flashing lights - "thinkin & blinkin", but then I get a message that it cannot locate the server. Even rebooted. I've been waiting for the IT guy to call/email me back me back but no response yet. I'm guessing I may just need a new location, but I'm not wired to think IT-like (I'm a very right brained graphic designer), I I don't want to screw anything up.
Do I need to just go through a new internet setup?
