Internet shutting down after making restriction rules for pages in Parental Control

[StudiousMonkey]

Hi, I'm new in this 'router setting world', and without much information I decide to mess with my router configurations and obviously made some mistakes. This caused my Internet to shutting down. I would like your help to sort out this issues.

I wanted to use Parental Control restrictions to block some pages in my network from my router which is a Huawei EchoLife EG8145V5 and it cause to shutting down my Internet. Not inmediately, but the next morning, I guess after shutting down my computer. Once I turn on the computer the next day it started to shutting down every 10-15 minutes. Just for a minute or two, but obviosly it was really anoying, since I was working from home at that time. Remembering the night before I just restricted more than 100 pages, just filling the limit allowed in the template of Parental Control, I suppose maybe it's something related to some kind of memory glitch or space related issue in the router. I decided to delete some pages, I did it with 20-25 I think. So it left me with 80 pages still, and the Internet won't shut down for the next 15 minutes, so I thought I fixed it. But after 1 hour and a half the Internet just shut down again. I was really tired at this point, so I deactivated all Parental Control restrictions, and my Internet back to normal again.

My question is, how can I restrict pages from my Huawei EchoLife EG8145V5 router without messing up my Internet connection again? Hope to recieving your helpfull answer. Thanks for reading.

If the router performs logging, check the Log for a clue as to what 'Internet shutting down' might actually mean at the time of the event.

Confirm the latest router firmware is installed and then Reset (factory reset) that firmware before you configure it from scratch the first time.

Trying to blacklist webpages (the Internet) may prove to be an impossible chore. If the router allows setting the WAN DNS provider, you may want to use a DNS provider that filters/blocks various content like adult content, known malware sites, ads, etc. Then you may only need to blacklist a few sites on your own, or none at all.
