Draytek 2820n - Disable internet access for all

[johnisotank]

Hi,

would someone be able to help me with this pls..

We have an ongoing BT ADSL problem where the connection speed will drop dramatically for long periods and also disconnect. (I am gauging this with the ping tool. On a good day the reply is 50-60ms but increasingly we are seeing long periods at 1500ms to 2000ms).

We have about 10 PC's linked to the router and I would like to be able to tick a box (in the web configuration) which would effectively stop all PCs in that network from using ANY bandwidth. I would then be able to see what the pings are like with the PC's disconnected.

Could anyone advise if this is a possibility?

Thanks
John

I am not familiar with the Draytek equipment, but you might check the documentation for clues. Some routers have a feature or restriction option for that purpose. The MAC address is one of the items used to block access. Some of them have a table to enter the MAC addresses of the devices to restrict.

Hope this helps!

If you can link all the users' PCs'/Network Cards' MAC Addresses to fixed local IPAddresses, you should then be able to block all those IPAddresss from all out-going services.
