| 665863 | 2008-05-04 11:35:00 | I have a Netcomm wireless router and want to know how I can manage my daughter's wireless access without affecting my own wireless access. I would like to be able to monitor and disable her connection at times. Can this be done by setting up different LAN groups? Any ideas? | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 665864 | 2008-05-04 18:24:00 | what operating system? basically it can be done very easily through software, which windows vista just so happens to have (to a degree) built in of course if she doesn't have her own user account most your options are gone bar pulling the fuse to her room or going hardwired and pulling her cable (or wiring yourself in and stopping the wireless. |

| 665865 | 2008-05-04 21:51:00 | Most wireless access points will have the ability to restrict access to certain MAC addresses (the id number of the wireless card). You could disable access by restricting the router to only your own MAC address. For detection, you would have to use software such as Wireshark to sniff the traffic. While this is quite complicated to use, it allows you to capture and analyse any information being sent over the network from your PC. Actually using this will be difficult unless you know very clearly what you're looking for. P.S. You should tell your daughter about any monitoring in place. Children have privacy rights too. |
