Re: parental controls dilemma :o(

I have a V7 WRT54G and have read that it will only reliably run the cut down version of DD-WRT plus I have no idea what they are talking about when t comes to the install procedure - like i said, it needs to be simple - which of course is a relative term!

Yes I can switch off the router and thats what I have to do now, its a pain in the backside and means that everything is off - which is absolutely NOT what I want to do. Also its not rocket science to plug it back in.

As I said I tried using the access controls in the web interface to shut off his pc and it didin't work.

I was hoping for a really simple to use interface that doesn't rapidly descend into geek speak, something the average NON TECHIE parent can control easily. We have an old Mac which my son uses for Garage Band and that is simplicity itself to set up the network access times.

So - any other router recommendations? Maybe something that is already running a version of DD-WRT or similar?


regards


Dudley
