Hello

I have a Linksys router
there are 6 computers connected to it
is there a possible way to dissconnect someone from a pc
instead of just taking the wire out of the router??

Thanks for the help

On mine you cant no... why would linksys want such feature ¬_¬ lol.

You MAC address blocking/filtering. Only allow the computers you want to allow ^^

Well, not sure if this feature is on linksys, but i know its on belkin :P

Depends on the model, but hopefully you should be able to enforce some kind of restriction - check your admin panel

On the router my isp provided you can set what packets go where. Which i found usefull for hosting ect to stop any lag issues.

Am i seriously dull or has that post got hardly any relevance lol?

Anyways, i myself don't think Linksys have any such feature now that i think of it, however if you use a third party software, your guaranteed to have something you can block someone with. Tell us the model of your router, and be sure to include the version.

For example, i use a WRT54G v5 which supports third party software named DD-WRT Mini ONLY due to the hardware (the RAM to be exact) not being capable of running the normal DD-WRT version.

Carefull with flashing your router (installing the new OS), there always is a slight chance you could brick your router to a state where only a JTAG? cable would be the only way to restore it. If you need any assistance, PM me.

You can set the PC you want to block to have a static IP of 192.168.1.150 (or w/e) then filter that IP from connecting to the router (if that's what you mean).
