Hi everybody,

I just wanted to add a "website-whitelist" to my TL-WR710N V1 150M Wireless N Mini Pocket Router (link-delink-us). But it doesn't work.

 

What I've tried so far:

 

  • using Access Control Rule Management with
    • Domain Name -> Result: doesn't work at all (blocks everything)
    • IP Address -> Result: sometimes it does work temporary, but only as long as the dynamic IP adresses stay the same. After that everything is blocked again
  • using Parental Control Settings [yes, I do have 2 PCs, one as Parental PC and all others (my second PC) as Children's PC] with
    • Website Names [see picture below] -> Result: doesn't work at all (blocks everything)
  • Tried again after a Router Reset -> Result: still the same problem
  • Tried again after Firmware Upgrade (3.16.12 Build 140922 Rel.61239n) -> Result: still the same problem
  • Tried again with other DNS Servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) because I read about that in a forum -> Result: still the same problem

 

Any ideas what else I could try?

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

 

Did you try to fix the IP address for the device that you want to control? 

 

Please refer to this link to set a fixed static IP for the device:

And please refer to page 56 to do address reservation for your device:

Good day!
