restricting access

[Sharleena]

Hi guys,

I have a wireless router that our laptops and consoles can all access. I want to be able to restrict access to the consoles and the kids laptops so they're not on them in the middle of the night.

Please help.

You can setup time restrictions on most routers. This is built into the router firmware/software

Dictating what times am and pm for any specific MAC address will give you complete control

Heres a couple of examples. Depending on your router it maybe worded differently

Thanks very much

I have looked at the links and they do not apply for my router, it is a w ifi from Sky.

Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know what I can do now?

You could just unplug the router before you go to bed each night

I leave stuff to download overnight and the sky anytime updates too.

What make and model is the Sky router you are using ? Tat would make a great help. Aldo with the laptops You could use Admin account to create user accounts and set/grant persmisions that will allow or not allow them to certain things

The sky router is locked down harder than a.... well. you know i believe.

However, the standard Anytime stuff doesn't come via the phone line or via the router..

I haven't had either of my boxes (1x 1Tb and 1x Sky+HD) connected to the phone line for literally years.

Only since sky has opened up anytime+ to non Sky BB customers have i connected it.

The Sky Router is a 'Sky Sagem F@ST2504n'

Sky were ringing me when the box wasn't connected and demanded it was plugged in as they could tell. I'm not sure what to do now.
