I've had the Superhub for a while now and i have been content with it, however i recently had a new laptop to be used by family staying over, so i wanted to make sure i could at least limit the internet activity once it is lights out.
However i have come to relise this Superhub is an absolute pain when it comes to trying to filter the times, it feels terrible.
1] You can't set the times from (For instance) 10pm - to- 7:30am because the Superhub says the time range is invalid, and to ensure end time is later than or equal to the start time.
This means i have to set it to 11:59pm, therefor meaning if they can go on it anytime after midnight should they so choose (Although obviously haven't made them aware of this).
2] The internal clock on the Superhub is supposedly 1 hour behind (Normal GMT instead of GMT +1?) since i read that on some other forum while researching this, however, i have absolutely no idea what time my specific Superhub is set to and i would love to find out just so i can accurately assure that the MAC Filter is timed correctly.
3] This one relates to both above, i have the MAC Filter activated for the laptop at the specific times i require, but it has no effect. It hasn't been automatically cutting off the laptop in question, i also tried the IP Filtering, but again that had no effect on anything.
4] Finally, i don't know if this is a feature on other routers, but isn't there a command i can use which remotely cuts off the connection, without havng to delete the MAC etc to make sure i don't have to go through all the setup again.
So basic jist:
1] MAC Filter not allowing overnight restriction.
2] Internal clock verification.
3] MAC Filter/IP Filter not working.
4] Remote kill-switch for users.
I'm using firmware version V5.5.2R30
