Re: Can I use my existing router?

So the router is here :) I've got it set up and am connected through it with my phone and PC, all seems to be working well at this point. A couple of Q's though.

Can I somehow rename all the wireless devices that will connect to the router with an easy name so I know exactly what each device is? Eg - Zack's iPod.

Can I set this up so that I have to approve each new device that wants to connect? If not, what is to stop someone getting a new device and bypassing restrictions with that? Or even changing the IP address of their device?

Thank you,
Dave.

Also, is there a way to see total data used by each device or user without having a quota in place? Or do i need to set quotas for each user to get a data readout?

Set a very small quota for "All Hosts without Explicit Quotas (Combined)

Thank you. I think I'm getting it worked out to do exactly what we need it to do :)

This is how I have set it up now, thank you :)

Is there any way I can see who is using this quota up? I know a small amount was used during initial setup, while I created rules for everyones devices, but it is now maxed out, would be nice to be able to find the device responsible ;) ;)

Cheers,
Dave.
