Attn Merlin: Parent Controls

[krum]

Here is what I had to do in order to fix the parent controls in .246

iptables-save > iptables.conf
vi iptables.conf
added this to the line above --days Mon
-A FORWARD -i br0 -m time --timestart 07:00 --days Sun -m mac --mac-source 00:00:00:00:00:00 -j PControls

Save and exit
iptables-restore < iptables.conf

I change MAC address to 00: I didn't want to past the real thing.

I can modify all the Parent controls from GUI, everything seems to work.

There is bug that the parent controls gui that it would not save --days Sun correctly..

To test;
Cleared NVRAM WPS button and power on for 20 seconds
Power on recovery mode
flashed firmware
Cleared NVRAM WPS button
went through my settings;
duplicated same problem with Parent controls;
Fixed from above,

Chris

I don't have any problem here. I just set a schedule allowing 7am to 10am on all 7 days of the week, and it generated the following rules:

-A FORWARD -i br0 -m time --timestart 07:00 --timestop 10:00 --days Sun -m mac --mac-source CC:00:00:00:00:22 -j PControls
-A FORWARD -i br0 -m time --timestart 07:00 --timestop 10:00 --days Mon -m mac --mac-source CC:00:00:00:00:22 -j PControls
-A FORWARD -i br0 -m time --timestart 07:00 --timestop 10:00 --days Tue -m mac --mac-source CC:00:00:00:00:22 -j PControls
-A FORWARD -i br0 -m time --timestart 07:00 --timestop 10:00 --days Wed -m mac --mac-source CC:00:00:00:00:22 -j PControls
-A FORWARD -i br0 -m time --timestart 07:00 --timestop 10:00 --days Thu -m mac --mac-source CC:00:00:00:00:22 -j PControls
-A FORWARD -i br0 -m time --timestart 07:00 --timestop 10:00 --days Fri -m mac --mac-source CC:00:00:00:00:22 -j PControls
-A FORWARD -i br0 -m time --timestart 07:00 --timestop 10:00 --days Sat -m mac --mac-source CC:00:00:00:00:22 -j PControls

All 7 days are appearing properly, with the same hours that I entered.

Show me a screenshot of the webui with the schedule you are trying to configure.

When I reset the router; clear Nvram, Flash, Clear nvram,
my parent controls get messed up, here is the screen capture,

Now I am thinking I have to RMA my router.

You're saying that after a factory reset you already have the rules shown in your screenshot applied?

If so, it makes me wonder if you wouldn't be suffering from a browser caching issue. I did my tests using Google Chrome here.
