Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Parental Controls Limited To 5 Devices

Aug 14, 2011

With all the WiFi ready devices that kids (and adults) have these days, a limit of 5 targetted devices for permissions is hardly enough.  I suggest increasing that limit to at least 10.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Set Parental Controls On E4200 V2?

Jan 19, 2012

I have an E4200 v2 I would like to set parntal controls on school nights only. Currently if I select parental controls for specific times I must set times for both school nights and weekends. I would like to be able to type in times that are not available in the dropdown lists. Currently I am limited to the drop down list. Is this a change that can be made in the near future.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA4500 - Setup Several Devices In The Parental Controls To Be Blocked Always

May 13, 2012

I setup several devices in the Parental Controls to be blocked always. These devices are still able to connect to the router. I tried rebooting the router but the problem persists. I have two laptops and two iPod Touches that can connect regardless of the access restrictions.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 V2 - Can Parental Controls Work With DHCP Server

Mar 5, 2012

On my new E4200v2, after I tried to move beyond the disappointment of Cisco removing Internet Access Policy entirely, I decided to give the stripped down Parental Controls a try.
 
Sadly, I didn't have any luck doing what I needed to do... block my Tivo's from accessing Youtube.
 
I enabled Parental Controls, Added the Target Devices (my Tivo's did show up), and added "Youtube.com" as blocked site #1.  Saved.  Entered the parental password when prompted.  Even rebooted the router.
 
But Youtube wasn't blocked.  So I added to the target list a non-Tivo device (a Macbook) for a reality check, and rebooted the router again... still no luck.  Youtube still not blocked.
 
So then I started to wonder if their Parental Control depends somehow on the local DHCP server & Client list.  Because my E4200 has DHCP Server = OFF (I have always used a Windows Server for DHCP).
 
I tried to call Linksys support to get this working, but after 45 mins, including escalation to senior engineer, they really were pretty useless (no real familiariarity with my problem) then they disconnected my call!

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Block Traffic At Certain Times Uses Both Parental Controls / Internet Access Polices

Oct 21, 2011

I have configured my e4200 to block traffic at certian times uses both the Parental Controls and the Intenet Access Polices.  Neither one seems to work though.  [code] I have the same MAC addresses specified in each rule.  Initally I had only the first two rules.  Those didn't work, so I added rule 3 and 4 (they do the same thing as rules 1 and 2 but from the opposite direction).  There are no compliaints, but they don't stop any traffic. 
 
I started with the Parental Controls, they didn't work either.  The page in there that lets you pick which machines you want to block seemed next to worthless.  I have about four rows listed as "Network Device."  REALLY LAME!  As the MAC addresses are accesible and these weren't working I went to the IAP.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA3500 - Set Parental Controls On It?

Mar 13, 2013

I need to set parental controls on a device EA3500. Problem is that the device is listed under the same icon as a device I don't want restricted.  If I click on the icon it lists one MAC as wireless 1 and the other as wireless 2 but still as one device name.  One is an Xbox (the one I want restricted) and the other is a PC on Windows 7.  I can only set up parental controls by icons/device names, not MACs and MAC filtering is a pain as I have to add and remove it everyday at a certain time.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Parental Controls Don't Work On EA4500?

Jan 30, 2013

I have a Linksys EA4500 Router.  Both my kids have laptops.   I've tried using the Parental Controls to restrict access to certain websites and also to put in timeframes that they're computers can't access the Internet.  However, it does not work at all!  I've tried turning off their computers and then resetting the router after I made the changes, but the access restrictions do not work.  We also have their Xbox set up on the router -- so maybe some of the settings we have for the Xbox are messing up Parental Controls?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Disable IPv6 For Parental Controls?

Jan 14, 2013

So I've realized that my parental controls were being ignored by the computers, at first I figured my son had found a work around to by-pass. But reading through the forums today, I've found that IPv6 being enabled might be the cause of my issue. So I'm currently sitting at work and connected to my router remotely, but for the life of me, can't see where to disable this option.  Using the Smart Wi-Fi interface, closest I can get is "Connectivity, Internet Settings, IPv6 but everything is grayed out and no option to edit this.

Linksys Wireless Router :: EA6500 Smart Wi-Fi Parental Controls

Mar 31, 2013

I am new to the forum and Linksys products.  i have always been a Netgear fan.   What brings me to Linksys is the Smart WIFI parental controls.  My children have iPod touch and Kindle Fire.  I want to "manage" the content (Youtube, internet, etc..) on these devices.  I want to be able to control when they have access to the WIFI and when they don't.   Another words, I want to go the router web interface and find the device and turn OFF the connection without affecting the rest of the house. 
 
I was looking at EA6500 router as a pontential new router.  Would this router give me the control I need?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200V2 Parental Controls Loses Control?

Feb 21, 2012

I've been using router for approximately three weeks with little to no problems and today the Paretnal Controls lost control.  Anytime they were enabled they prohibited the associated computers from acessing the web even though the specific times was set to midnight -6am.  Strangely, this has worked fine for three weeks and the only way I could get things back working correctly was to reboot the router. Just another firmware bug?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E-2500 Parental Controls - Only Block 6 Or 8 Websites

Feb 14, 2012

I recently purchased an E-2500, but notice that in parental controls I can only block 6 or 8 websites.  In my WRT54GS I could just create additional rules and they would work.  But in this device I am limited on the sites that can be blocked per device.  How I can block additional sites?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2000 - Setting Parental Controls Slow Down Connection?

Jun 21, 2010

I bought a brand spanking new Linksys E2000. I get great connection speeds and awesome range, until the day I set up parental controls. Once I set them up, It slowed my connections down to a crawl. Thinking that I did something wrong, I reset the router and did the entire installation. Everything was back to normal, but it did it again once I set up the parental controls.

I have had the EA 3500 router for about three months. 
 
The Parental Control of Cisco Connect Cloud block all site except YouTube !  I have the Parental Controls set up to "Block the Internet" at "Specific Times".    The other popular sites are blocked: Facebook, The Chive, Tumblr, etc.  But for some reason she is still about to view YouTube all day long! 
 
 It has the latest firmware.  I spent about three hours on the phone with Cisco tech support about this.  They uninstalled and re-installed the router - it still doesn't work!

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3200 - Parental Control On Devices

Sep 12, 2012

I would like to see the full range of 24 hours for setting parental controls on devices.  As it stands now, I can only select a block of time that starts in the PM and ends in the AM.  This isn't very useful if for instance I want to limit internet while my kids are home alone after school, from 3 PM to 5 PM, or say on the weekends to limit it from 7 AM to 5 PM.  Just a suggestion that would make life a bit easier!

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 V2 Parental Control / Can't Get It To Work

Sep 27, 2012

I have tried both old firmware (2.37) then the Cloud firmware and now back to 2.37 again. the parental controls seems kind of fool proof but anyhow they dont work for me.If I set the internet access as denied at certain times, if the client is already connected when that time occours, it can continue to use internet (until it disconnects and tries to reconnect). Happens almost every time. And the biggest problem is that if I try to block internet access for a device like a cell phone, even though the user can not access the internet through the web browser, apps like Facebook, games etc can still access internet. Kind of useless parental control?!But I have tried to reset, reflash etc.Also I find this router pretty unstable, the only device that works flawless is my iPad (3), the laptops and cell phones at home loses internet connection every one and then, even though it seems like they have good connection to the router. Never been a problem with my earlier routers.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 - Setting Up Parental Control Features

Jul 23, 2012

I have the Linksys/Cisco router E4200.  My question is setting up parental control features as specified in [URL] - specifically the blocking of sites based on certain keywords and/or blocking sites based on age groups (child/teen).  I do not see this capability in my Cisco Connect software.  Is this feature available for E4200 v1?  If so, how can I obtain the software?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 - Parental Control Features Lacking

Nov 11, 2011

For a high end wireless router like the E4200, the parental control features are lacking.  The other features and performance of the router are great, but why not provide outstanding router based parental controls?  With the latest firmware (1.0.03) no new parental control features were made available.  Currently, I can restrict by time, which is useful.  I can also restrict 10 websites - which is not useful.  I certainly don't want to maintain a list of the 10 most offending websites that I want to block.  First of all, 10 is not even close to being enough.  Second, and more important, there should be a way to subscribe to some service that automatically updates the list of blocked websites based on content.  I would not mind paying for this service if the cost is reasonable.  I know that there are software "solutions" for this, but my 6 year old easily found a way around this sort of solution.  I have tried many with no success.  The only real way to enforce parental controls in a home network is at the router.  I would love to this feature available on this high end router.  There are a few lower end wireless routers that offer this service, but the other feature set is poor.  I want to have my cake and eat it too.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Can See None Of Devices Attached To Power-line Devices

Aug 15, 2011

I have installed my new E4200 and it works beautifully.  I have several wirelss adapters and a few wired connections through powerline adapters. I also have a second VPN router attached to the 4200.I can see the wireless connected devices with the associated IP addresses.  If I plug a laptop directly into the Cisco, I can of course see it.However,  I can see none of the devices attatched to the powerline devices?  I have a securty cam connected via the powerline and want to know the IP address.  I checked with cisco technical support via chat and they said it is impossible.  I have used 2 previous routers with the same configuration and can see all devices.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Limited IP Addresses On E4200

Nov 29, 2011

setup the network at his church, they currently have a Cable modem, which hands out 3 external IP addresses, I have that plugged into a Linksys E4200 wireless router, and from the router a line into a netgear 48port switch which hard wires into the offices and a few more E4200s around the church. The linksys is currently handing out IP addresses to all the equipment on the network, the trouble is it only has a limited amount of IP addresses,(50ish wired?) and i am worried that it will become overloaded.  They are also trying to go gigabit as much as possible, as they pass a lot of files around internally.

1. Am I using the right piece of equipment to hand out the IP addresses? The modem will only put out 3, so do I need something instead of the E4200 to do this? If so any recommendations?

2. Do they make a switch that will plug into the modem that is gigabit that will handle internal IPs? I am happy to trash the netgear switch if there is something better to replace it.

3. How can i utilize all 3 external IP addresses? (Well 2 really, I have their VoIP phone system plugged into 1)
 
I am a low voltage contractor by trade and A/V is usually my department, I would like to get into networking, but on a scale of 1 - 10, I am only around a 4 in the knowledge dept.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 Downlink Speed Limited To 6 Mbps

Dec 30, 2011

I posted this in the wired forum, because it's the wired speed that is limited, but it looks like there's more E4200 expertise over here, so here it is again:
 
I have Hotwire fiber service and the plan is supposed to provide 20 megabit downlink speeds.
 
I just bought a Linksys/Cisco E4200 to replace an old Dell TrueMobile 2300 from 2004.  With that router I got the full advertised downlink speed.
 
Now, when I run a speed test with the E4200 in place, the downlink speed is only 5168 kbps or so.  Watching the speed test meters, I see the data arriving in bursts, every few seconds a whole lot of it gets through, then for a second or two nothing.  It's pretty regular.
 
But, if I run a speed test with the ONT cable plugged right into  a laptop, I see 19001 kbps - close enough to 20.  This is the same cable that plugs into the back of the router.
 
With E4200 in place Direct into laptop what I can check or configure in the E4200 to change this behavior?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 No Way To See Connected Devices

Jul 11, 2011

I've used Netgear & other routers for years; I was able to see the devices connected over ethernet & wifi through the router configuration utility. Cisco's interface looks poor; there is no way to see the connected devices.Many of the devices I have have a 5 Ghz radio and some don't so i need to see at what speeds they are connecting at.Or does Cisco not provide this utility? I am surprised that a high-end product from Cisco does not have this function.

Everything was working fine until today.  I changed my Access Restriction password....and then discovered that I cannot 'Add' another device.  The button is completely grayed out. I have other computers running on the network that are not in the Access Restriction list...so I should be able to click on 'Add' and select a device....
 
I can continue to edit the Access Restriction permissions for those devicescurrently in the list...but just cant Add any other device...

Linksys Wireless Router :: How To Get E3000 Or E4200 To Manage More Than 5 Devices

Mar 11, 2012

How can I get a E3000 or E4200 to manage more than 5 devices? Come on Cisco, lets get real. EVERYONE has more than 5 devices to manage. The average family of 4 has 3 or 4 computers, 4 smart phones and at least a couple of tablets and maybe some TV or game consoles. Setting access control policies is a must for anyone who is a parent.
 
Any good router that has a reasonable set of access control features? I've always loved Cisco up to this point, but I'm frustrated by this significant limitation.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E4200 - Wifi Devices Cannot Pick Up 5 Ghz Band

Oct 11, 2011

All my wireless devices are 802.11n and none of them can pick up the 5 GHz band on my E4200 router.  I've tried all the different settings and channels on this band and still nothing.  The only device i have been able to pick up the 5 GHz band with is a Desktop PC with a  linksys AE1000 USB network adapter.  This is quite frustrating because I would like to put my blu-ray player and game systems on the 5 GHz band.  Laptop, PS3, XBOX 360, iPOD, and blue-ray player all can't pick up the 5 GHz band.  Either my unit is defective (which I don't think is the case or not even the USB adapter would be picking up the network) or there is something I am missing (which I have tried pretty much everything as far as I know with the settings, have two separate names for the band networks and have tried each individual channel under 5 GHz).  Also running current firmware version.
