Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2021 17:54 Post subject: Some newbie questions and problems
I just installed the firmware and I not know how to do some things or why is like this.
1. On the DHCP Clients the IP address is not assigned like the old firmware:
a) The start ip is: 192.168.1.100
b) The next assigned ip to PC is 192.168.1.130
c) The next assigned ip to Phone is: 192.168.1.143
2. How I can disable the Control Panel for other PCs, WI-FI.
+ I found how to make the IP static for the PC on Static Leases.
3. Why sometimes when loading a page and after the refresh the Control Panel (style/theme) CSS is not loading?
- I get an style.css:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET on browser console.
- Or when accessing the Access Restrictions page the white background is loading slow.

Unless you specifically tell dnsmasq to hand out IP addresses sequentially, it will not do it by default.
Restricting WebUI, ssh, and telnet access to a single client has been discussed many times in the forum.
Your webUI issues are likely a combination of using a Chromium-based browser and co-mingling your internet browsing with webUI access. Firefox ESR portable or Pale Moon Portable for Windows; otherwise Firefox ESR or Pale Moon for Linux or MacOS; in private mode, no extensions loaded, and no surfing the internet from the same browser - also, clear your cache or use CTRL+F5 (command+shift+r on Mac). I think my TL-WR940Nv3 is on 46130 or 46220, I would have to go elsewhere to check as it is not local to me. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

How I tell it to make it sequentially. What I found is to to disable the "Use DNSMasq for DNS" and is not working.
If I clone the PC MAC to modem when connecting with the Phone it's make is 101, if I keep router MAC is 143.
Still not found how to restrict Control panel for all users instated of the one PC on settings.

How to restrict the control panel (GUI): use a strong password or better an SSH key
You can as an extra use iptable rules to restrict access see the wiki.
If you want a fixed lease make a static lease
Why do you want a sequential hand out of IP addresses?
Dnsmasq is designed to choose IP addresses for DHCP clients using a hash of the client's MAC address. This normally allows a client's address to remain stable long-term, even if the client sometimes allows its DHCP lease to expire. In this default mode IP addresses are distributed pseudo-randomly over the entire available address range.
