Linksys restrictions

[ciscotx]

I have a Linksys WRT54G Firmware Version: v1.02.0. I have been trying to block webpages either by URL or by keyword under the Access Restriction Tab and it does not seem to take effect. For example I enter

http://www.msn.com

on the URL just to try it and it still goes to that URL. or if I enter the word drugs under keywords it will still go to those pages... Can anybody help...

What do you guys think of upgrading to DD-WRT...

Is this for a home or for a business? If its for a business you need a content filter.

 

[ciscotx]

is for a business with four computers... so i guess this business could be considered as a home scenario...

I have 2 Linksys wrt54gs Routers, 1-Speadstream 4200 modem configured as a gateway. The first router is configured as ppoe and retreaves a static from isp. It has 3 ports opened to internal address of 1.2 for wan access to a video recorder. I need to add wireless capabilities for the lobby customers but not allow them to access the first routers lan addresses. Thank you for your responce...John
