D-Link DIR-655 :: Network Filtering / 24 MAC Address Limit?

Jan 23, 2013

I have had a great experience with my old DIR-655 (rev A) router.  However, I would like to upgrade to a newer and better D-link router for my home that contains many well-connected children. Which routers are like my DIR-655, and have better overall performance than the DIR-655 without necessarily using the benefit of the 5 GHz second band.   What better performing routers can record more than 24 MAC addresses in the Network Filtering area?  I understand many people don't agree with MAC address filtering, but I like it to keep my kids from giving out my network password to all the neighbor kids and their friends too.  So, MAC address filtering works for me.  Or, should I just get an updated version of the DIR-655?

Using MAC Address Filtering?

Dec 19, 2011

I just upgraded to the Belkin N750 DB router from the version just below it and couldn't get the wireless card (Ralink RT2760) in my daughter's dual-boot WinXP/Ubuntu 10.04 to connect to the WPA security setting (WEP only) on the Ubuntu side. There is an updated driver, but it's way above my Linux skill set, so instead I just disabled security completely, and used the MAC Address filtering to add all of our household devices.This solved her connection problem, but I am wondering if there is any danger to this method that I might not have considered

I have two WAP 321 devices set up in our building they are on the same subnet with the same SSID and are using the WDS bridge mode. My question is, if i enable mac-address filtering on one of these devices will this infomation be passed to the other bridged device? or would the allow/deny list need to be populated manually on each device?

Cisco Wireless :: MAC Address Filtering In Aironet1130AG

Dec 29, 2011

I'm attempting to block about 10 to 15 users on the wireless by using  MAC address filtering on the Aironet.  I referenced the following link: URL,The  policy does indeed work, but once I apply the filter all traffic on the  wireless for that particular VLAN stops.  Why would this happen?  I  wouldn't think I need to configure anything else for this to work, but  maybe I'm wrong.I was looking over the config and I noticed that each time I added a MAC address to the filter, it would create and access-list 701 deny 0000.0000.0000  ffff.ffff.ffff   Once I removed this access-list, traffic starting flowing again, but  when I add another MAC address the access-list shows up again.

I've been asked to configure mac-address filtering on our WLC 4402 and it was basically straight forward.  however i noticed that in creating the filter you can only choose 1 SSID or the other option would be to choose all?  My question then is what happens if i need a user one 2 specific SSIDs?  can i create separate filters for each SSID but using the same mac?

D-Link DIR-655 :: Web Filtering Doesn't Work When Linked To MAC Address

Jan 5, 2011

My DIR-655:
Hardware Version: A4
Product Page: DIR-655

The problem is that Website Filer doesn't work if on STEP 3: SELECT MACHINE of Access Control the machine was selected by MAC address. When the machine was selected by IP everything is fine.The problem is that IP addresses are assigned dynamically, so how to make sure that the policy would be applied to the same machine?

Belkin Routers :: N150 - When Check MAC Address Filtering It Seems To Be Disabled

Dec 25, 2012

I have a Belkin N150 wireless router. I have enabled MAC Address Filtering as an added level of security. However; whenever I access the router, and if I check that page; the check mark for the option to enable the filter is always blank.

I have checked the option, clicked Apply Changes, and logged out of the router. i went back in this morning, to check the security logs. (Looking like someone is trying to jump on my network) I didn't see anything there, but when I checked MAC Address Filtering; there was no check mark indicating that the filter was turned on.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1000 / MAC Address Wired Filtering?

Jan 19, 2011

I just want to allow specified computers wired access to the internet via the E1000 router.  Here is the problem I am currently working on: 

(1)   Setup the E1000 unit to allow only one PC 'C1' (MAC: 91:E6:BA:25:91:58) wired access to the internet.

(2)   Add another PC (unknown MAC address) to the LAN side of the E1000 unit and see if it is being blocked by the 'Access Restriction' policy that was setup.  

(3)   Can’t get the above done – the second PC is able to surf the internet although the policy is enabled. 

Notes:(a) Ref: 'Access Restrictions' web page or see Page 26 in the User Guide .(b) The unit has the latest firmware already installed: Firmware Version: 2.1.01 build 5Dec 3, 2010.(c) The internet port of the unit goes to the ADSL modem in my house.(d) Unplugged the unit for 10 seconds as advised by one of your technicians, still no difference.(e) I can deny PCs, but the allowing only specified ones seems not to be doing anything.By the way, can the E3000 or E4200 do the above?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1200 Can't Setup MAC Address Filtering

Sep 12, 2011

The browser-based settings utility for my E1200 can't setup MAC address filtering. I go to the "Wireless MAC Filter" page and enable MAC filtering.When I click the “wireless client list” button, a new window opens saying “IE cannot display the webpage”. This always happens when I have a wireless connection active.When there are no active connections, then IE properly displays the MAC address table, but it is empty since there aren't any computers connected to the router.

Cisco Routers :: RV180 / RV180W - MAC Address Filtering And IP Biding

May 24, 2012

I'm interested by the router Cisco RV180 or RV180W.
 
So as to increase security, i would like to set a MAC adress access restriction for all peripherals that would be connected to the router (10 computers, 2 servers, 6 Synology NAS) : only allowed MAC adress should access to the internet and network ressources.
 
Does the Cisco RV180 or RV180W have an IP to Mac biding feature and a Mac adress restriction feature ? If yes, how many peripherals/computers can be set ?
 
For example, only 30 mac/IP adress can be allowed on my actual router and it is not enough.

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5505 URL Filtering Using URL Filtering Server?

Feb 7, 2012

I have come across articles mentioning that URL  Filtering can be implemented by using ASA 5505 with URL Filtering  Servers. But Websense and other Web Filtering Servers are paid ones ?  Are there any free solutions available ? What exactly is N2H2 ? The  reason is I don 't want to increase the CPU utilization of ASA by  implementing URL filtering within the device. If I have around 30 nodes  which connects to the internet via a 2Mbps line through ASA 5505 and if I  want to block around say 10 or 15 URLs , will it increase CU  utilization beyond permissible limits ? Currently the CPU Utilization is  around 10 - 15 . Here's the infrastructure setup .

Creating A Secure Wired Network Alongside A Wireless Network?

Oct 10, 2011

I have been involved in the Networking of a museum with a set of "Show" computers which display video, and for this reason cannot have anti virus installed becuase of the performace hit, and also the risk of pop-ups on the videos. They do however need to be connected to the internet as some are interactive and allow people to send simple emails, and they all need to allow remote support when things go wrong.It seems the networking was not thought out very well initially, and there is a single wireless router which serves the staff and public on a secured wireless network, but also serves the "Show" machines via a wired connection from one of its ports, which then connects to a master switch which serves the show machines.Now the wired and wireless is on the same network, and everything shares the same IP subnet (192.168.1.xxx), and this is not a good situation in terms of the securuty of the show machines on the wired network. So I need to work out a way to totally separate the wireless network (which will be very prone to people opening viruses in their emails etc), from the wired network (which will be the show machines which wont be touched by anyone).

I want to achieve this in the simplest and easiest way, and have been reading about the possibility of setting up a second wired router behind the current wireless one, with a different subnet IP address, to which the "Show" machines could be connected. The WAN port on this second router would connect to a LAN port on the wireless router, and thus the show machines could get their internet, but separated from the dangerous wireless network.Does this sound like a sensible start? Will the fact that the wired router (and show machines) are on a completely different subnet to the wireless router (and wireless devices), mean that the wired network will be protected? Or do I need to do more? And is this likely to work?

ASA 5505 Content Filtering For Inside Network

Feb 26, 2012

I'm looking for a content filtering/antivirus/antispyware appliance for my company. Right now we have an ASA 5505 at the edge. We have several outside employees connecting via Cisco VPN clients to the ASA. I need an appliance that can do content filtering for my inside network, guest network, and VPN users. That's two local VLANs and a VPN pool which are all terminated at the ASA.

I've had good luck with Cymphonix in the past, but their boxes are a bit steep for the amount of throughput I need. We'll probably be moving from a 15/15 fiber connection to 80/10 cable soon since our provider can't seem to keep us online; even with an alleged "100%" SLA. They just don't have a network capable of anything close to 100% uptime, plain and simple.

I'd like to keep the ASA running as our firewall and VPN server, so the device needs to be able to do content filtering/av/as in a transparent mode.

D-Link DIR-655 :: MAC Filtering / Network Filter And Guest Zone

Jul 22, 2012

207.NA Firmware, B1 Hardware in use on a DIR-655, Time Warner Cable setup.  Nothing to do with Revision, cordless phones,I saw this asked once before specifically here, but it was never answered.After several attacks via our cable network and neighbors, we've HAD to turn on MAC filtering.  There are TONS of devices attached normally so two situations popped up:

  #1:  What happens when you max out the authorized MAC address listings?  Does the page get longer when you save/reboot it?  Do I have to do it manually from there forward and where can I get down to the core programming level to edit the code and put the MAC's that are around and on 100% of the time to open up the plug-in list on the GUI?

  #2:  Guest Zone - we NEED a way to have random guests get on our Network with a different password we can randomly change to prevent the outside abuse, etc. but am I understanding what little else has been posted that the MAC filtering also covers the Guest Zone and therefore I have to stick them in there before they could simply log on with the current password?  Is there any way to change/stop that without eliminating MAC filtration as a whole?

Cisco :: How To Secure Network

Mar 16, 2013

I want to know how can I secure the network, I would like to know a complete schema of the insfrastructure, in other words, how to build a network with 4 vlans, firewall? one vlan will be for admin area personal other vlan will be for wifi access secure with password, not everybody will have access to it the other vlan will be for a small personal with at least 20 people. What will be the proper way to build the topology from this hardware that I have shown or with a new hardware. If it is another hardware, what can I use to secure it with vlans ?? This is a small office branch network that as you can see, one switch is on the floor.

Way To Secure Wireless Network?

Apr 26, 2011

I was just wondering what the best way to secure my network would be. I was reading this article then the comments from others were saying that most of that info is laughable and really no good besides creating a password or encryption key. I have in the past had my wireless router set to not broadcast the SSID as well me creating my own SSID so it's not just Linksys or whatever and I had mac filtering enabled as well use WPA2 Personal and had a password. But I had some problems such as my Aunt's Laptop wouldn't connect unless I broadcasted the SSID and now my brother came back from Colorado and he said he never had any problems connecting to his friends Wireless network, I am assuming his friends was unsecured but here his Laptop won't stay connected unless I have an unsecured network so if I had it set to having a password it would connect but then disconnect after like 3 seconds but now it's staying connected but I have it completely unsecured. His drivers are completely updated from what I can tell.

His laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1500 series not sure exactly at the moment but I think it's the e1505. It's like 4 years old he got it in 2008 which when I was at dells website and typed in his service tag and found drivers the newest wireless card driver was from 2008. Anyways my router is a Linksys WRTU54G-TM Wireless G router with 2 phone ports. Anyways my network would consist of 2 Desktop PC's one running windows 7 1 running XP but both are right next to the router and are wired so nothing there then as for wireless there are 3 laptops at this time my brothers Dell E1505 I think (It Won't stay connected) and it runs Vista, my Dell Latitude C840 running XP (No problems)and an Acer extensa 4420 running XP (also no problems). Also my younger brothers friend comes over a lot and bring his Laptop which is an HP something running XP (no problems) Also we have a PS3, A Wii each have connected fine and possibly my brother from Colorado's Xbox 360. Also my younger brothers friend also brings his PS3 over and has no problems. There are also 3 ipod touches no problems either. We also have Ooma VOIP telephone service and that's just connected directly to the router
