Q. How do I implement Access Restrictions for computers behind my router?

Access Restrictions allow you to limit Internet access on your network. You can deny certain computers Internet access, block certain applications (example DNS, Ping, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, POP3, IMAO, SMTP, NNTP, Telnet, SNMP, TFTP and IKE) and services, and block certain websites by the use of keywords or by the URL at a given time. This feature allows you to customize up to 10 different Internet Access Policies for particular PCs, which are identified by their IP or MAC Addresses.</p>

Enabling Access Restrictions on a Linksys Router

Step 1:
Access the router's web-based setup page. For instructions, click <a href="../../../../en/US/products/ps10024/products_qanda_item09186a0080a35691.shtml">here</a>.

Step 2:
When the router's web-based setup page appears, click the Access Restrictions then Internet Access.

Step 3:
Select the policy number from 1 to 10 in the Internet Access Policy drop-down menu.

Step 4:
Enter the name of the policy in the Enter Policy Name field such as "MyPolicy" and click Edit List of PCs to add PCs to the policy. A window similar to Step 7 will appear.           

Step 5:
When the List of PCs screen appears, specify PCs by IP Address or MAC Address. Enter the appropriate IP Addresses into the IP fields. If you have a range of IP Addresses to filter, complete the appropriate IP Range fields. Enter the appropriate MAC Addresses into the MAC fields.

Note: Reason of Linksys provides 3 columns (MAC Address, IP Address and IP Range) here is to let user key-in based on address where user have. For example if customer have MAC Addresses to be restrict, then user just need to key-in the particular MAC Addresses in the MAC Address's column; So it's same as IP Address. For IP Range, if user wants to restrict a group of IP Addresses for example 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.40, then user just need to key-in the range of IP Addresses in IP Range's column.

Step 6:

Step 7:
If you want to block the listed PCs from Internet access during the designated days and time, select Deny. 

Step 8:
Set the days when access will be filtered. Select Everyday or the appropriate day/s of the week. 

Step 9:
Set the time when access will be filtered. Select 24 Hours or check the box next to From and select a specific time period from the drop-down boxes. 

Step 10:

Step 11:
To create or edit additional policies, repeat steps 3-10.
