Setting Up MAC Address Filter

Post by nigsy116 »

OK this is what I want to do:

My son has an Android phone that I want to block him accessing the internet on between 8pm and 8am, he can't get a 3g signal in the house, so that's not an issue.

I can easily set up a MAC Address filter to stop him using the phones wireless capability but I'd like to set up some time parameters.

Any ideas?

If remember correctly you can't set a time schedule rule to wireless mac filtering section.

Only option is to set up a fixed host for you sons android phone, then setup a firewall rule to drop the outgoing connection during 8pm-8am

Thanks. Guessed that would be the way.
Shame. Doing it on MAC addy would be much easier!

I need to do the same thing on several devices both incoming and outgoing. Any reason *why* time schedules are not available on wireless are are on wired connections?
