Parental/Access control help - C8
Model : Archer C8
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I just got the C8, so far it seems to be working well. I had a D-Link I really liked in terms of the admin panel, but it would just keep disconnecting so I had to abandon it.
With the D-Link the Parental/Access controls were pretty robust and intuitive, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do exactly what I want on the C8. We're a techie household, we all have multiple devices - at least one laptop/pc and then a phone. Then there are the consoles.
I'd like to be able to set up 2 rules, "curfew" which would prevent the kids but not myself from accessing the internet from a certain time at night to a certain time in the morning, and then "grounded" which cuts them off completely.
Do I have to set up a rule for each device? On the D-Link it was easy to see how to add more than one mac address to a single rule. I also have reserved IP addresses for each device, so if it's easier to do it by IP range I don't mind that either.
Thanks in advance!
