You can block individual MAC addresses under Access Restrictions, but many newer cell phones can also generate a random MAC address so blocking a single MAC address no longer works. Here it would be desirable to be able to create a whitelist that contains all MAC addresses except the saved ones.

this would be useful and a simple way for people to secure their small networks

THis feature is already present. There are 2 options, allow only these MAC addresses and deny only these MAC addresses.

That is wireless,

Otherwise use iptables rules to
Code:

insmod ipt_mac
iptables -N CMACFILTER
#drop link local
iptables -A CMACFILTER -s 169.254.0.0/16 -j DROP
iptables -A CMACFILTER -m mac --mac-source (MAC_ADDRESS) -j RETURN
iptables -A CMACFILTER -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD 1 -i `nvram get lan_ifname` -j CMACFILTER
iptables -I INPUT 1 -i `nvram get lan_ifname` -j CMACFILTER

Sorry, I searched the whole thing under Access Restriction and it was under wireless -> MAC Filter. And I thought they had removed the function Embarassed

Is Access Restrictions working now?

I'm presently on build 08/02/2020 and it's very hit or miss working. I have 2 mac addresses set to stop connecting to the internet after a specific time and sometimes it works but most of the time it does not.

I have also added the Firewall rule stated in the thread.

Thanks

Hey, I know that breakfast bagel! I do not use access restrictions, but read somewhere if a rule passes

over midnight (possibly noon as well) then split into two rules. Also see established connections and SFE.

Use dd-wrt forum search and be sure to select "search for all terms" and maybe display results as posts.

Try "access restrictions SFE" or "access restrictions midnight" and so on.

Then you will see what I am talking about (Willis).

Ha, didn't know that bagel was so popular. Smile

Yeah, I already have rule split up to deny internet access from 20:05 - 23:59

Then another rule with the same deny MAC list from 00:01 - 05:00

Just a quick look around as you suggested looks like the culprit is the Shortcut Forwarding Engine. Disabling should clear it up but at a price of worse throughput from the looks of it.

There were changes made at 44760 that probably affect this:

This would mean that 44772 or higher should be used for access restrictions to work properly.

Oh sweet! Now I finally have a motivation to update the router!

Thanks!

Update: Now it's all coming back to me. I'm on the stable 44048 build and I see that the Apple device disconnects still has not been resolved yet. <sigh> Guess I'll have to just live with non-working AR for now. Sad

It's only Apple iOS devices with 14.0 - 14.2. If you're running 13.7 and below or 14.3 and above, not a problem.

P.S., a new release dropped today:

Oh, I see my phone is 14.4 and my iTouch is 12.5.1. So maybe it would be worth to give it a go.

Yea, I just noted that there is a new build. I'll watch the feedback and if there is no issues reported, I'll give it a try.

Thanks much!
