home access list

[lavender]

i have configured an access list for my home wireless network but after that i deleted that list because it was not completely efficient but now even though the list is not there but i can only connect to the network using the admin's laptop which i have used when configuring the network..everytime i try to connect another laptop i have to power up the admin's laptop and delete the access list again..
this is pretty annoying so please help

i am still expecting some help with this 

[Sidewinder]

i have configured an access list for my home wireless network

Can you tell us more about this list?

everytime i try to connect another laptop i have to power up the admin's laptop and delete the access list again..

What do you do to delete the list?

Is this a file on the hard disk? A DHCP Client list in the router? A MAC Address Filter list in the router? A Client IP Filter list in the router?

If the list is in the router and you delete it, you have to apply the changes for them to take effect.

right

here

From what I can see, the picture shows two physical addresses in the MAC list, with the enable access list box unticked, effectively allowing any MAC address to get through the MAC filter.

After deleting the list do you restart the access point? Either by using a paperclip to boot the box or power off--wait 30 sec--power on?

You could try ticking the Delete All box, applying the changes and restarting the AP.

The SSID is My W Connection. Is this the network you're trying to sign on to? This is not a throwaway question. Many users can see multiple networks (especially in the cities) of which only one is theirs.

Has this ever worked? Many of these devices can be reset  to factory settings. Might be easier to start over.

Good luck.

this is what i did again today.....

i reset the router (pressed the little button says RESET) and when i powered up the laptop the list is still there...i un-ticked the mac addresses, clicked on APPLY and then restarted the access point and nothing changed..

[Sidewinder]

i un-ticked the mac addresses, clicked on APPLY and then restarted the access point and nothing changed..

Based on the picture, shouldn't you tick the MAC addresses (the boxes under the word DELETE), click APPLY, then restart the AP? When restarting the AP, try turning off the power instead of using the reset button.

Can you reset the AP to the factory settings? Starting over has got to be faster than waiting for help in a week old post.

I'm a bit confused by the Enable Access List box being unticked. Seems this would allow any MAC address through, which what you want. Are there any other access lists that aren't shown?

 

[lavender]

i did tick the mac addresses i just didnt post a new picture for it...i use aztech DSL 605EW router..so i was trying to reset the router...i hold the reset button with a paper clip till the lights stopped blinking that took around 10 seconds and i waited for like 5 minutes and when it didnt restart itself...i hit the power button and things were still the same...

[Sidewinder]

I have no new ideas. I checked the on-line forums, but found nothing to pertains to your problem. I would suggest you call Aztech. They are located in Singapore, you could try email at: [email protected]

If it were me, I'd get to this page in the router and click Restore To Default.

Good luck. 

This will bump your post. Perhaps someone else has some ideas.
