Archer C50 v2 - Parental Control Issue
2017-11-08 01:34:58
Model : Archer C50

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version : 0.8.0 0.2 v005c.0 Build 160824 Rel.36561n (Canada)

ISP :

Hello Everyone,

Archer C50 v2, with the Canadian firmware upgraded to version:0.8.0 0.2 v005c.0 Build 160824 Rel.36561n

After I enable parental control, I choose a device, enter a MAC a address and the effective time. I then proceed to enter an website that cannot be accessed during that specific time and save everything.

So it works, that device is not able to access that website during that specific time.

Except, the device is no longer able to access the router address either, neither by IP or android application.

It all goes back to normal, when I disable the effective time, or disable parental control. Also, even if there is no website blacklisted, I can still not access the router during that specific time. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
aemi

The parental control won't take effect when it is disabled.
It seems that the device has some special settings on it.
Restart the device and check the IP address on it to see whether it is normal assigned by the router.
Try a different web browser to login to the router's web page.

I did a restart of the router and back to factory settings.
Checked this on different devices, it seems that all of them are affected when parental control is on.

It seems to be not impossible to have this issue.

Below is the parental control section enabled







Below is the modify panel within the parental control section








Below is the effective time within the modify panel






Please note, that I am not able to access the router settings with that tablet, during the time that is marked with green, either by ip address or TP link android app. I am able to access the router interface with that tablet, during the time that is marked as white.

Actually this is a default design.
If the device under blacklist but it can still access to the router's page, then it may change the router's settings.

I understand your point, but if the user doesn't have the password to the router they can NOT change the settings. If it was meant to be like this, then it was poorly implemented imo.

Right, users cannot change setting if they don't have the password. so they don't need the ability to access to the router's page when the parental control takes effect, because they cannot open that page without password.

Unless the admin happens to use that device at that particular time and can't access the router's page to change the settings and provide temporary access to the user.
