FILTERS Page Examples – Establishing Parental Controls on Internet Use

The WR850 filters can allow you to restrict use of your broadband connection in a variety of

ways:

Blocking use of the Internet at one or more PCs in your home, at all times

(e.g., there is a dedicated PC in the home for homework, where Internet surfing is not
required)

Blocking use of the Internet at one or more PCs in your home, at particular times

(e.g., when homework is to be done, and does not require Internet surfing)

Blocking specific uses of the Internet at one or more PCs in your home,

at particular times

(e.g., when homework is to be done, and neither Internet gaming nor Internet messaging
should be in use).

The following examples demonstrate these three types of parental controls on your WR850.

Blocking Internet Use at All Times – Using MAC Addresses

For this example, we assume that:

there is one PC to be restricted, and

the MAC address of that PC is 00:0C:E5:51:A6:D1.

Step 1: At the LAN MAC Filter Mode, select Deny.

Step 2: At Filtered LAN MAC Addresses, enter the MAC address(es) of the PC(s)

to be restricted.

Step 3: At the bottom of the page, click the Apply action button.
