How can i use my router to block internet

Camalot · 24 Nov 2008 at 11:55

I'm trying to figure out how i can disable all internet connection (laptops, 360's) so non of them can connect to the internet.

I have put these settings into the router but i can still connect to the internet :confused:

Router is WRT54GL.

in the screenshot have you edited the list of PCs?? else you'll be applying the ACL to nothing.

I've put the port range from192.168.0-150 something.

I dont know how to find the MAC address of XBOX + PC.

And i have used Tomato firmware before mate. It was fantastic but my wireless kept dropping all the time. I couldn't get it working so flashed back to defult and its fine again, haven't had a drop since.

I'm not sure if that is a list of inclusions or exclusions. I'd check the manual on this.

But i would suggest installing Tomato anyways as it's a much better firmware. But the standard one should work if set up right.

The list was empty and it didnt block my own PC. I put the IP of my own PC in and saved it, but it can still access the net

Have you tried just putting the range of ip's in the bottom section.

I'm not too sure you need the middle section filled in if you are inputting a range.

I rememember I had a nightmare blocking access using my old linkysys router.

Have you tried the dd-wrt firmare that sounds simple to setup.

I put a range in mate, is that correct? (See screeny above)

installed Tomato yet?

The last time i installed it, it ruined my wireless. It would always drop connection.

I think ill just pass on it for now

install it then clear the nv ram, it's flawless

Tried it mate, wireless wouldnt stay connected for more than an hour.

Ill give it another go i suppose !

2 secs while i flash.

EDIT - Got it all set up and i managed to get my access restrictions to work

. Its all set up.

I remember last time there was a graph where it says "real time" bandwidth. Its just blank white atm?

Yea done all that. It was a few months ago i last tested it. Haven't had a chance to test wifi this time.

Any idea why i dont get a graph for the bandwidth monitor?
