Model: Archer C3200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello everybody,

 

Currently in an internship, I have to block some software and website. For example, we don't want someone access to Discord.

 

So, I have seen that it is necessary to configure Acces Control. But the problem is when I access to the TP Link Archer C3200's GUI and I move to Security -> Access Control, I can only manage devices's black and white lists. My question is : Is it possible to manage Web site's access on a TP Link Archer C3200 ? 

 

 

Kind regards !

Your only option is to use Parental control (page 35) for that.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".

@terziyski I tried, but I have a problem. When I put keyword into blacklist for example "facebook.com" and "discord.com", I can no longer access these web sites as desired but I also no longer have access to any websites. How come ? Do I have to fill in the whitelist ?

In your case restriction mode should be blacklist mode.

Make sure you're with the current FW for the device.

Take a look at the FW release notes - make backup of your router configuration before upgrading FW.

Also make additional notes of your configuration to be easy to restore it, in case you can't restore it from the backup file.
