Son hiding PC from attached devices?
I've been trying to keep my kids from accessing the Internet after a certain time but still allow my wife and I to access it. Somehow I believe my son is getting around this. His MAC address does...
Here are my suggestion:
- Reserve IP address – Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup
- This is to make sure the IPs will be static to the MAC address
- Scheduling – Advanced > Security > Schedule
- This is where you configure the time and day
- Block Services – Advanced > Security > Block Services
- Keyword Blocking : Per Schedule
- Services : All , Port 1-65535
- IP address , range or ALL IP address
- Reserve IP address – Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup
Thanks guys. Yeah, believe me, we do take away all of his electronics -- particularly his cell phone. But he has a desktop PC -- not a laptop.
I've decided for now that I'm just going to have to change the password each night and change it back in the morning.
A pain in the ass, but gotta do what i have to do.

Obviously he has ZERO respect for you. Put desktop in a another room until he does. I took my daughters door off until she got the message.
