Hi everyone,
I have a simple problem on my EdgeRouter Lite I want to solve. (If I look how pro you guys are, I get embarrassed to ask it to you guys) I have this router because it's very powerful and I got help to setup it for my home network. Other than that I'm ignorant about networking and I'm forced to use the EdgeMax GUI.
I have a little brother who shouldn't be able to access the internet after bed time. He doesn't even know what a MAC-adress is, so a MAC filter should work out. I tested the filter (without time limits) on my own phone first, but I didn't manage to block access.
I used the GUI like this:
If I look at the configuration file, the added code looks like this:
rule 3 {
action drop
description Block_MAC
log disable
protocol all
source {
mac-address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
}
I tried out the rule at other rulesets and I even made my own ruleset, but it doesn't work. This should be a very easy problem, so what am I doing wrong? I tried it even with other phones. I'll add my config file to the attachment to give you an idea what the setup is.
I'd appreciate any help.
Kind regards,
