I have tried several broadband routers, Linksys, D-Link, Belkin to use their
features to control WWW access in my home LAN. None of these allow you to
set restriction features within a time window. They allow you to block out
access at certain time windows by day of week, but they dont for example
have the flexibility to allow FTP access while blocking eveything else in a
time window.

Is there a prosumer level of router that has the added flexibility to set
access restrictions that are invoked within a certain time window? This for
a small home network behind a cable modem.

thanks

You could roll your own, using Linux. That would give you as much
flexibility as you want. Also, some of the Linksys models run Linux and
there are many patches available, to add funtion to the box.

Linksys has some "better" products that probably come out of the Cicso
takeover that have lots more features. IMO time restrictions are a
comsumer feaure and these are corporate products so you may be out of
luck. SMC makes some nice network products too.

For Linksys Take a look at this: (Scroll down)

If you want that type of flexibility, you may want to invest in a small
(like 800 series) Cisco routers.

Watchguard products offer this capability, and much more, but
their stuff is not cheap. Expect to spend between $400-$1000+.

http://www.watchguard.com

I seem to recall that Zyxel also offers this capability in their
ZyWall product line, but I'm not certain. Check http://www.zyxel.com.

Again, expect to spend more than you would for a typical consumer
box (but they're nowhere near as expensive as Watchguard until you get
up into their really high-end stuff).

You might also look into Netgear's ProSafe line of products.

Happy hunting.

My Siemens router gives me this capability for outbound.
Range of IPs to range of ports for times of day. But only
a limited number of entries.

Inbound is set one port to one local IP. No times.
If needed, I'd control times at the server.

ok...thank you. I looked em over. THey look very similar in capability to
the Linksys 54GS which also offered the subscription content filtering
service. At least the zyxel says that the protocol and time windows are not
related which is one feature I was looking for.
