More Information

Hi there, i am not sure if anyone of you is using this wireless router. I am using it, and try to enforce "Access Restriction" to some website, but i won't work.

Below is the screenshot for the Access Restriction:-
I want to block by MAC address: 08:00:37:0E:DB:21

access restrictions dont work for me either and i upgraded to the very latest firmware.

also be careful about 3rd party gpl'd firmware on the 54g. it turns out mine is a v5, which is incompatible with 3rd party firmware. before you go trying any of those firmwares, check that your router is not a v5!

Here are how you set access restriction on Linksys WRT54G.
First is Enter policy name. You must give this policy a name. Good naming convention is to name it after the software or persons computer you wish to control. Next is edit lists of pc, type in mac address of pc you want to restrict, Next is a choice, do you Allow or Deny access to the internet. Next you can block some URLs by url address. Some examples of url address are www.ebay.com, www.msn.com, or www.yahoo.com. Then you have Block by Keywords. Which is just certain words to look for and block the site if the site contains thoose words. Examples would be sex, xxx, or adult.Next you can block certain services I leave my NONE. Click Save settings
