Thanks guys! At work now, but I'll give this a go later
Just a thought, but if an
authorised wireless host (as in a host that is connected to my wireless network but not added to web access control list) now tries to login to the routers web interface via the router's IP address in a web browser, will the admin/password prompt window still pop up?

I haven't tried it but I believe not, just like if one IP is already logged in you get nothing. At least I don't.

Perfect, thanks guys! Where do I stand with regards to wired hosts? Say if I were to only ever have wireless hosts connected to my router and then suddenly lose them all, would I still be able to access the router via a wired host? Or has enabling web access control blocked out wired hosts from accessing as well - I'm guessing it will have
Must make sure I add more than one (MAC/IP) host to the list in case I change the main one and forget...

I've added my main (wired) machines IP to web access control and that can access the interface okay... I've tried adding my iPhone and that doesn't seem to work? When the iPhone's IP isn't added, I get a time out (which is great) but when it is enabled it doesn't even try
Before enabling web access control my iPhone could access the router without problem.
Edit: Sorry, sorted it now
Thanks all!
