Hello,

 

I want to setup a restriction so our router only allows access to the internet at specific times per day, for all computers. 

 

I´ve looked inside the Parental and Access Control sections but I can't work out exactly how to make it work correctly.

 

There are 6 different units (phones, tablets & computers) connected with IPs between 192.168.0.100-106

 

I want all connections to have internet access to all internet between 4pm and midnight. Outside of these hours no access to any internet.

 

How would I set this up?

For instance... I see I can use Parental Control...

 

I add my own MAC address, so that all other computers can not access internet at all. Ok, that´s easy....

 

Then I have to add each of the other computers on the network, individually I guess (I want to add ALL others, automatically - Can this be done?)? It´s a bit lame that by default I have to add each connection manually and can't just have the same rule for all.

 

The main issue with Parental Controls is there are 8 slots for "Allowed Website Name"... This isn't enough, there are millions of websites and I want the kids to have access to everything, not just "8 sites".... is there something I can put into box one to define the INTERNET rather than 8 sites?

 

The effective time, I added a schedule - "Standard 1600 - 0000". Assume this is correct as that is when I want to allow them to have internet.

 

See screenshot of my settings with notes of where I have questions.....

Regarding "Allowed Website Name"

 

I found this listed in some TP-LINK FAQ..

 

Enter the allowed domain name of the website, either the full name or the keywords (e.g. tp-link) in the Allowed Website Name field. Any domain name with keywords in it (www.tp-link.com, www.tp-link.com.cn) will be allowed.

 

So is there a keyword I can write to allow all internet sites?

 

That would resolve my problem, I believe.
