Restricions and MAC addresses

[domino1352]

I notice in the restrictions section you can block everything but allow a specific range of ip addresses or a mac addresses access to the web.

Question, Can you put in more than 1 specific mac address?
looking for 4 Mac addresses... 2xPhones and 2xTablets

My current router is fairly basic and you can only block mac addresses . which is fine, until the kids figured out how to spoof mac addresses..

PS (Gargoyle compatible Router on the way....)

You certainly can.
You can specify them in a range, or with mac addresses, specify one, click "add", then you will be given the option to add another.

Hi there i am fighting the same battle and winning!

When you get your new router take a look at OpenDNS:

It's grate at blocking most naughty websites.

The ad block plugin is verry cool to.

Everything up and running...

I have set up using restrictions to prevent network access with a couple of exceptions...

what happens if the talented teenager spoofs my mac address I presume he would then get access to internet...


system is a billion 7700n v2 as bridged mode and TP-Link TL-WR1043N/ND v2.1 working AOK.....


took a couple of reboots /resets the billion to get it to remember to be a bridge... .

ps if you need info on getting a billion bipac 7700N into bridge mode this info from netcomm very handy..

I ended up using the info from site and used the wizard after a couple of factory resets...

wierd its the same os I suppose netcomm and billion are related somehow...

If you are on the latest ispyisail build then you can:
Gargoyle - Connection - Static IP - Enforce DHCP assignments

And shake the kids hand - he is learning fast

[domino1352]

yes I cannot even be angry at him its a good learning experience on how the internet hangs together...

all going well at the moment...

going to look at opendns as suggested..
ohh I dont suppose it can be set up where different mac addresses can be directed to use different DNS
i.e the TV point toward unotelly DNS and Teenagers at opendns and adults at googledns

ohh I dont suppose it can be set up where different mac addresses can be directed to use different DNS

It is on my 2do list

[domino1352]

Dammit.. he did as I would have, and spoofed an allowed mac address. unfortunately he choose my most active device to spoof... so it became apparent fairly quickly....
so going to try and enforce dhcp assignments to see if that helps...
