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 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 :: E2000 Parental Control Tab Missing

Oct 7, 2011

I am trying to use the Parental Control feature. I can't use Cisco Connect as there currently isn't an update for this router for Mac OSX Lion The firmware version in the support site hasn't been updated for ages, and I am running the latest (v 1.0.04) The Parental control tab, that is supposed to appear in the web browser interface isn't there. It's supposed to be, but doesn't show up.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E3200 And Parental Control Limitations?

Jan 2, 2012

Just installed the E3200 and use to have a WRT54G. Wanted the N Band.Noticed two major deficiencies.

1) this device does not have Internet Access Policy option and the Parental Control interface is unbelievably poor?There are very few options to work with in terms of time of day to turn on and off blocking access. (Half hour increments only, not 5 minutes increments that I was use to). The "FROM" Field has AM only and the "TO" filed has PM only. This means if you wish a device to have access pass Midnight, you can't, or if you wish to block beginning in the AM, you can't. Furthermore there are no day selections, just School Night and Weekend Night. What if you just want to block school Night. You can't "turn off" weekend. Is there a way to gett full Internet Access firmware into this device.
 
2) When using Parental Control the devices to restrict access are only displayed by default names. I have 8 devices on the LAN and half of them say Network Device. Any way to identify them by a device name or MAC ID?

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 :: 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 :: E1200 Parental Control Device List?

Oct 19, 2012

I'm trying to limit my kids' access to the internet during the night, since I caught them plugging their laptops and the Xbox into the router's Ethernet ports late at night so they could circumvent the wireless guest access. The problem is, I only have 5 available control slots and the list of devices I browse to choose from is vague at best. Half of the devices listed in parental controls say "Network Device" and the other half say "iPhone" or "iPad". Isn't there an easy way to choose the correct devices to restrict, like by IP or MAC address? And if not, why is this so confusing and difficult? I have a family of 10 in my house and everyone is connecting with their own phn or 3 iPads, 2 laptops, 2 desktop PCs, 1 Xbox and 1 PS3.I tried limiting the DHCP Reservation list, but that seems to only affect the wireless access, not the 4 ethernet port connections.

Linksys Wireless Router :: E2500 Parental Control Vs E2000 Internet Policy

Dec 1, 2011

I have in my possession three E2000 and I wanted to buy 3 more, but the model seems to not be on sale anymore so I bought his successor the E2500.In the E2000 I used the Internet Policy menu to block internet access of certain computer by entering their mac address.In the E2500, they seem to have removed this menu to replace it with a Parental Control menu, which offers far fewer options, basically you can only block a computer that is connected to the router, you can not block a pc by the ip or by his mac address.Is there a way to have a menu similar to Internet policy in the E2500? A hidden menu, or a different firmware?

Linksys Wireless Router :: E1200 - Parental Control Password And Block Internet Access

Oct 2, 2011

Why does my E1200 forget my Parental Control Password? This happens almost weekly and I have to use the "forgot password" option. It asks my security question, I answer it and set the new password to the same password it keeps forgetting. Why does this happen? Also, is there anyway to have total 24hr control on the Block Internet Access?

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 :: 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.

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.

I'am a user of perfect-privacy.com (who provide VPN access for safe internet usage) and want to force the users of my internet connection to use perfect-privacy. On my old router i only allow access to the domain *.perfect-privacy.com and deny all other domains. To surf the web it was nessesary to connect via VPN (example server: moscow.perfect-privacy.com) to surf the web.

I've tested the Parental Control, but when i have activated it, i can access perfect-privacy.com, but i can't open a VPN connection to a Perfect Privacy server. Is there any way to configure Parental Control to allow VPN connections, or realize me needs in another way?

Linksys Wireless Router :: Setting Up Static IP With E4200?

Oct 27, 2012

I am to play an online game called, "Super Street Fighter: Arcade Edition" and I am constantly getting disconnected. Currently my router is set to DHCP and I read and heard from other sources that a static IP is the way to go but I can't seem to get it setup when I follow youtube videos or read how-to guides.Which is the best choice for a solid connection?  Port forward the ports need to play the game or setup a static ip or some sort of combination of both? How to setup a static IP with the linksys e4200? I also have a linksys repeater to boost the signal strength. Its the Linksys RE1000 repeater.Also, if you have any other suggestions that might be better such as leaving my router on DHCP and making changes somewhere else in the router configuration page (192.168.1.1).

Linksys Wireless Router :: Setting Up E4200 With Wet610n?

Jul 7, 2011

I'm moving into a new house.  I've purchased the E4200 and the WET610N so I can connect between the main house and the carriage house which will be my office.  Carriage house is 60' away from the main house.  I want to place the E4200 in the main house and will send it the broadband cable signal from the cable modem.  I'll wire ethernet directly from the E4200 to the DVR for DirecTV and will use another output to distribute to other computers in the main house via ethernet switch.  I will place the WET610N in the carriage house and want to take to output from the WET610N into wired ethernet switch(es) there for access to the broadband from the house.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Setting Up E4200 As Local Network

Jun 5, 2012

I've been playing around with my E4200 but cannot find the right combination of settings. My problem: I bought the router for cable internet that never happened. In the meantime I am accessing the web using a 3G dongle. Hoewever, while connected to the router (wired or wireless), all the PC's in my home refuses to access the 3G internet - it is as if it wants to use the E4200 to access the net, no matter what. So every time I want to access the internet, I have to disconnect the PC from the home network, and connect with the 3G on that particulat PC. (I have three PC's at home, 1 wired and two wireless). If I set the E4200 to bridge mode, I struggle to find a logical IP address, since I would ideally like to run the network at 192.168.1.X. How do I set the E4200 to allow a home network to be established without having to disconnect everytime I use the 3G on a PC? Also, it seems that if the router doesn't handle the DHCP duties, win7 by default makes the network public, which complicates sharing a lot...

Linksys Wireless Router :: Setting Up An External Hard Drive On E4200?

I just bought a Linksys E4200 from bestbuy tonight, mostly for the feature of plugging my hard drive into it to use it as a media server, and being able to read & write to it from any computer on my network.  I have searched for hours on end trying to fix my problem.  I login to my router (at 192.168.1.1), I go to the storage tab, I then click the "Create Share" button next to my WD hard drive in the list and nothing happens. Ive tried this on four different computers, and three different browsers now to no avail.

D-Link DIR-615 :: Parental Control - Number Of Entries

Mar 4, 2011

For our children, we use the parental control feature of the DIR-615 (RevD, FW4.11b15), which works excellently. I use the whitelist feature, so only trusted web sites can be accessed. Unfortunately the DIR-615 only has 10 entries in that list and I will soon need more. So I wonder if there is another D-Link router that offers a bigger list with maybe 50 or even 100 entries?
