Thanks, have submitted a ticket - let's see what they say.

. doesn't work and neither does http. It looks like a clumsy implementation by tp-link. There should be no reason why you can't just time limit access to all sites through parental controls without...

I am sure the MAC address is correct. surely if it was wrong it wouldn't block anything. It is blocking everything when controls are tuned on. Yes I followed the guide thanks.

Thanks, it will accept http and save it as a url but access to websites is still not allowed.

entering just a . results in a message to enter a correct URL so that doesn't work.

Has anyone tried using . as a wildcard to allow all sites as Ada suggests in the thread I started on the subject (sorry didn't notice this one). I an not home for a few days so can't test it out.
