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.

Timed Access not working on Airport Extended Network

I've had an Airport Extreme wirless networking working fine except for some wifi disconnects at the far end of my house. So I bought an Airport Express to extend the network. I'm got the Airport Express configured and running an extended network. Everything shows "green" in the AirPort Utility, but it required me to set the Timed Access option to "Not Enabled". If I enable Timed Access on the Airport Extreme, the Airport Express dissapears from the AirPort Utility and starts flashing the amber light.
Is it possible to configure an extended network that continues to support the Timed Access restrictions?

Well,
I succeeded in making it work. Yes it can work!!
Yesterday I had a brainwave. You have to put the mac adress of the airport that extends your network also in the timed access table.
My timetable looks like this:
default: access from 06:00 - 22:00
Devices that have an exception:
My ipad: every day, all day
Airport Express: every day, all day
The trick is that you have to use the mac adress of your airport express of the WiFi interface. The airport has 2 mac adresses one for the wired and one for the WiFi. First I used the ethernet mac adress.
So now it works like a charm.
Success!!!!!!!
BTW: You only have to enter the timed access rules in one airport. It propagates further to the "extenders"

Its working too well

i had no problems installing itunes 9. whatever, in fact, it works so well, that every shortcut on my computer now points to itunes. I can access nothing else. Every .lnk file on my computer is now an itunes shortcut.
i've uninstalled it and reinstalled it a number of times, and always have the same trouble.
any thoughts, anyone?

Timed Access not working on new Airport Extreme (802.11n).

I bought a new Airport Extreme (802.11n) to use as a router for my network. The network has a mixture of Macs and PCs, using a mixture of wired and wireless connections.
I configured the security settings with on the Airport Extreme to Timed Access. I set the default setting is to No Access.
Three computers are set with "Everyday, Between 8:00am and 11:00pm"; however, when it's 11:00pm, nothing happens. The three computers continue to have access.
I know the MAC addresses I entered are correct. Does anyone know why the Timed Access is not working?

Yes, the printer was initially set the same way it always was on my old router. It used to pop right up on the list. After I switched I was getting communication errors. Ok, new setup, I wasn't worried yet. When I got to the setup window and it a new printer wasn't found I tried updating drivers. No luck. I then used the IPP mode to enter the IP address with the address on the Canon screen. It failed. I then did the same setup telling it which software from the driver list to use. It still could not see it. The odd part is that the Canon can obviously see the router as its LAN setting read active and it is receiving the IP. I have proceeded to play with every setting on the printer and it is back to factory reset. Oh, I should mention that I have also tried to use Canons network setup utility software and it can not find the connection either. So I really think this is a problem within the router. I have seen many complaints about this on other forums, but most were looking to use the usb on the print server. My Airport is nowhere near my printer and I don't want to lose my all-in-one functions. Some think hard lined ethernet is ancient, but it really is a nice setup. Fast and reliable.

Timed access restriction in jsp

Dear Friends,
While working on a website development, I've faced the following problem:-
I want to display a Webpage (written in HTML and JSP) in between a particular timing. [e.g. the page will be displayed in between 09:45 AM to 11:30 AM and again from 01:30 PM to 02:45 PM]. But except that particular duration, that page won't be displayed. Rather then an error page will be generated stating that you accessed that page in wrong time!! This task is essential for my project, but actually I don't know how to do it. Can anyone help me please!!! I'll be very greatful to all of those persons who can help me by giving advice or any type of suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
Abhinandan Banik

Here's an example of the filter :
package test;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
public class TimeFilter implements Filter {
public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
    FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
    int hour = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    // only service the request between 08:00 and 17:59
    if (hour >= 8 && hour <= 17) {
      chain.doFilter(request, response);
    // for other times, forward the request to someplaceelse
    } else {
      request.getRequestDispatcher("/someplaceelse").forward(request, response);
public void destroy() {
}You will also need this in your web.xml :
<filter>
<filter-name>TimeFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>test.TimeFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>TimeFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

4.0 does not work too well...

Since downloading 4.0, I've had lots of problems with page loading, Trackpad gestures, scrolling. having to click a new page to make it active, pointer does strange things on any page and a host of other minor but none the less irritating issues.
I've had to revert back to 3.6.16 to get the browser to work again.
Sorry but I've gone back to using Safari as my default browser until these issues with 4.0 can be resolved.

Repeated clearing of the history and cache seems to have cleared up the problem. I still do not know why it reacted that way though.

My iPhone 3G doesn't turn on? The worst bit is that the menu button doesn't work too well either.... Help!

I was charging it from 1300-2300 (10 hours) since the apple logo wasn't coming up but that lightning bolt sign appeared.
When I came back, my phone just has a black screen and isn't turning on.
The top menu button is practically useless and I've retries connecting it to iTunes but it doesn't even do that
I've had this iPhone for more than 3 years and with time it's worn on and so the menu button has faltered and I dunno what to do.
What can I do for it to turn on again??

By "menu button" I mean Power button -'not the home button!

Delete record works too well !

I've done this before successfully several times but now something strange is happening. I've stared at this for a couple of hours now and don't see what I'm missing, it must be something blindingly obvious.
I created a page showing all records in a table using a repeating region. I added a column with a big red X image so that users can delete the record by clicking on the "X". This links to a delete page which displays the record and asks "Are you sure" the user clicks "Yes" and the record should be deleted.
What's happening is when the user clicks on the big red X the record is deleted and control is returned back to the page showing all records. I know it's going to the confirmation page as I tried removing the Delete Record behavior and it successfully displays the record I want to delete. I tried creating a new delete page from scratch to delete the record just in case there was something left over from the page I started with to create the delete page in the first place, same result.
Anyone have any clues? I'm using DW CS4, PHP, MySQL and Win 7
Thanks

oops sorry, here's the code for the delete page

SMS+ call block works too well

I'm having what appears to be the opposite problem as a lot of you with the SMS/call blocker - it's blocking 90% of my incoming calls and messages. These aren't hidden or anonymized senders; most of the time, they're in my contacts list. Lumia 822 Amber with the GDR 3 dev preview (which I fully understand may be the source of the problem).

The only blocking software I have is what's built into WP8. I'm not a big apps guy.

Downgrading firmware on WRT54G/access restrictions

I had a WRT54G. Access restrictions worked. I upgraded the firmware and the access restrictions no longer worked.
So after researching, it appears the firmware I upgraded to was buggy and the access restrictions didn't work with the new firmware. I couldn't figure out how to downgrade back to what I had.
Called Linksys and ultimately they said they would send a new router. I asked if it would have the old firmware that my router had previously, where the access restrictions worked. Yes, they said.
New router arrives today. Firmware is v1.02.2, June 7, 2007. NOT the prior firmware. Sure enough, the access restrictions still do not work on this router either. I don't want to spend yet another two weeks trying to resolve this with Linksys.
Question: Is there a way to downgrade to firmware where the access restrictions actually work for WRT54G? If so,
what version should I downgrade to?
where do I obtain it? and
can I download the firmware and then install it using the administration/upgrade firmware tab on the router (even though it is a downgrade)?
Thanks very much for any thoughts.

Thanks for the suggestion, Badboy. Unfortunately, although I could download the firmware and successfully load it onto the router, the access restrictions in that version do not work either.
It doesn't seem as though all prior versions of firmware are on the ftp site, ftp.linksys.com. For example, I also have a wrt54gs v. 4 (speedbooster) with the same access restriction problem. It currently has a firmware version loaded that doesn't appear to be listed on that website. (I couldn't download prior firmware for that version that worked.) So, perhaps prior firmware exists for the wrt54g v. 6 that is not listed on that site also.
Does anyone know if there is another site that has a more extensive collection of prior linksys firmware?
If not, I suppose I can call linksys again, but even if they send yet another router promising the old firmware on it, I suspect the message is just going to get lost between the promise made on the phone and the guy in the warehouse filling the RMA order.

WRT160N Access Restrictions

I have a WRT160N version 1 running Firmware Version: v1.02.2. It operates very smoothly and reliability but I cannot seem to get Access Restrictions working. I get the dropdown of 1 () through 10() for the Access policy but after I name it in the "Enter Policy Name:" field, I get an error that says: "You must input a Service Name." I honestly don't know what it is asking. Is there some other field that I need to fill out before Access Restrictions will work?
Just a bit more info: I am running WEP 128 with MAC filtering. As I said, normal operation is fine, but I need to restrict the Internet access of a single MAC address.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Mike

I'm going nuts with this .. The access restriction is not working on my wrt16n v2.0.02 build 015 May 26, 2009
I simply have created a policy to block msn.com .. here are the steps I did ...
1- Name the policy BlockMSN.
2- Added the MAC address in the list to be blocked ..
3- Click on Enabled
4- Type in the URL http://www.msn.com
5- Type in the key words msn.
6- Unchecked everyday and just selected Monday.
7- Unchecked all day, and selected the time slot between 9:00AM and 9:45AM ...
8- Click on Save (it was around 9:40 AM on Monday.).
Tried to open the msn website and rightfully so it was blocked ... I Tried yahoo and cnn and they both opened ..
However when the time changed to 9:50 AM, I expected that I would be able to open the MSN site, however that site remained blocked despite the fact I was outside the window of my policy.
What am I doing wrong ??? also this forum doesn't allow you to upload pictures (I created a screen shot of what I have done but could not upload it.)

Access Restrictions still not working with latest firmware

Linksys WRT54GS V5 with firmware v1.52.2
I cannot believe what a frustrating experience this is. All I want to do is block facebook.com from my two high schoolers until they’ve done their homework.
Starting out, it simply did NOT work, and I discovered from this forum that the initial firmware did not work for this feature. So here is what I did:
- Downloaded v1.52.2 firmware, which is indicated as being the latest for this router
- Upgraded the router, per the instructions with this firmware.
- Pressed (and held)the reset button for the indicated 30 seconds
At this point, my router switched back to the default access point name and access password. Fortunately, I had backed up my configuration, so I then:
- Loaded my previous configuration that included my Wireless security settings, different AP name, etc...
- Powered down, then back up router, cable modem.
Router now works wireless as before, but Access Restrictions still does not restrict. Router does list the correct firmware on the admin screens.
Here is how I sent up my one (and only policy)
Internet Access Policy: 1(facebook)
Status: Enable
Enter policy name: facebook
PCs: Allow checked
Days: Everyday checked
Times: 24 hours checked
Blocked Services: NONE
Wewbsite Blocking by URL Addresses:
3 entered, they are:
http://www.facebook.com
http://static.ak.facebook.com
http://apps.facebook.com
Website blocking by keyword: All 6 boxes empty
This was easier to do on my old netgear router, and it also actually WORKED. ARGHHHHHH

Thanks, but that did not work either. It seems to me that, entering mac addresses ended up totally taking away all internet access for the computers on the MAC list. This is really pathetic that a concept that on the surface seems so simple, as in 'deny access to hostname xxx.com' can be so difficult to implement. If there wasn't the suggestion that this were a feature of the router, I wouldn't care. But it *is* supposedly a feature, and the feature simply does not work.
It seem to me that LinkSys has too many mutually exclusive options on a single page. It would be easier to grok if the hostname filter had it's own page, then you wouldn't be wondering what the 'deny/allow' check box did or did not do in conjunction with your selections.
Does the feature work or not? As I mentioned, this was childishly easy to accomplish on my Netgear router. If it didn't suck so bad in other areas of performance, I'd simply go back to it.

Airport Utility Timed Access Control does not allow/restrict access to wireless clients per the time set.

I have been trying to setup Timed Access Control in Airport Utility and it does not seem to be working correctly.
In Airport Utility from Edit Timed Access Control I Enter a name for my device (iPad/iPhone any device), enter my mac address, set time for Everyday and use default Between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, save and then update. When I go to my device iPad iPhone etc. I still have access even when it is after the time set, 5:00PM. If I set no access it will restrict access also I set a time between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM and access was restricted. It doesnt seem to matter what the device is. I know that the MAC Adress is set correctly. It seems like an issue with the Utility, possibly time miss match or something. Not sure if I am missing something or if this Utility just has flaws. Please Help.

I changed the default to (no access) and set an entry for my test device (an iPad) to "Everyday Between 9am to 5pm. The iPad was still able to gain access to the network.
Something else to note, if I try to edit the time of an entry it gives me an error on my MBP "Invalid value", "The value for “Timed Access Control” is invalid." This happens even if I delete a digit (number or letter in the time field) and replace with the exact same. Not sure if the two are related. I have tried to edit access from my iPad. I don't get any errors but I still don't get the expected results. I called Apple to try and get Tech support but they were not much help. Thanks again.
