Blocking Internet Use At Particular Times - Motorola WR850GP User Manual

Section 3

Blocking Internet Use at Particular Times

When using the LAN Usage Filters, you have the additional opportunity to establish Internet
controls that run between particular times. There are two ways to do this:
(1) The "manual" approach: Enter the Web-based Configuration Utility at the beginning
and end of restriction periods to enable and disable continuous filters by checking
and un-checking the Enabled boxes at the end of each line.
(2) The "automated" approach: Use day and time settings on LAN Usage Filters,
automatically engaging and suppressing the restrictions at desired times.
For this example, we assume that:
• the "automated" approach is desired,
• there is one PC to be restricted,
• the IP address assigned to that PC is 192.168.10.4, and
• the PC is to be restricted from 6 PM to 8 PM, Monday through Friday.
Step 1: At LAN Usage Filters, under LAN IP Address Range, enter the IP address(es) of
the PC(s) to be restricted.
NOTE: If you intend to restrict multiple clients in the home, it is best to assign them consecutive
IP addresses to allow you to enter a single LAN IP Address Range without disabling
another client, while conserving LAN Usage Filters at the same time.
Step 2: Under Protocol, alternate TCP and UDP on each line.
