How to block Wireless clients from accessing the Internet full time, or specified times.

You can block certain Wireless devices from making requests to the Internet.  To do this we will utilize the Firewall in the Config (geeky) section of the Insty Connect.

  1. Navigate to Config (geeky) → Network → Firewall → Traffic Rules.
  2. Click Add and specify:
    • Name: Filter-Parental-Controls
    • Protocol: Any
    • Source zone: lan
    • Destination zone: wan
    • Action: reject
  3. On the Advanced Settings tab specify:
    • Source MAC address: 00:11:22:33:44:55  (you can choose the device from a drop down list if it's already connected to the network)
  4. On the Time Restrictions tab specify:
    • Week Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
    • Start Time: 21:30:00
    • Stop Time: 07:00:00
  5. Click Save, then Save & Apply.

 

If you would like to completely disable the Internet connection, skip step 4 for time restrictions.
