Access Control is usually used to control the internet access behavior of certain devices during a certain time period and at the same time, it will allow the other devices to have free access or no internet access at all.
The following is an example configuration of forbidding pc 1 (192.168.0.100) to access www.microsoft.com from 8am to 6 pm while it will allow all the other computers to access the internet freely all the time.
Step 1 Log in Archer C2( or Archer C20i)’s web interface by inputting 192.168.0.1 or tplinklogin.net (username and password are admin by default)
Step 2 Correct the Time Settings to match your local time( choose your own Time Zone; click on Get from PC---click on Save)
Step 3 go to Host, click on Add new, choose Mode as Ip address ( you may also choose MAC Address of the PC1 as well)------Description can be something you like. Ip address is 192.168.0.100 in the example’s case; Port can be blank---click on save.
Step 4 go to Target---add new-----choose the mode as URL ADDRESS----Description can be something you like；input the www.microsoft.com in the Add URL Address---click on Add--save
Step 5 go to schedule---click on add new--Description can be something you like; choose start time and end time as 08:00 to 18:00 ---click on add---save.
Step 6 go to Rule, click on Enable Internet access control, choose Allow the packets not specified by any filtering rules to pass through this device----click on Add new; Description can be something you like; choose the Lan host,Target,Schedule as what you have created.
Rule should be Deny and Direction choose OUT, Protocol choose ALL; Status choose Enabled---save
Then except for pc 1, all the other devices connected to the router will have free internet access. While for pc 1, it will be able to access all the websites from 6pm to 8 am but will not be able to access www.microsoft.com from 8:00am to 6:00pm(other websites are still accessible).
The final rule list will be like the one below:
Note:
1. If you choose Deny the packets not specified by any filtering rules to pass through this device, all the devices will be denied to have internet access except for the ones that are listed in the table.
2. Partent Control and Access Control cannot control access of any https website.

Background
Parental Control function is used to control internet activities of the child, limit the children to access certain websites and restrict the time of surfing internet.
Note: only websites based on http (port 80) protocol can be effective here, not applicable for https (port 443).
  Scenario
Bob has a computer for his son, now he has such a requirement to control over his kid’s internet access:
1. The kid has his own computer, and is only allowed to visit only several websites during Monday to Friday, from 9.am to 5.pm.
2. The kid is not allowed to visit any website during other time.
3. Bob and his wife each has a computer, both them should have the ability to access to the internet at any time.
  Here we take TL-WDR3600 as an example to realize this application.
  Step 1:
Set time manually or synchronize it with the Internet or NTP server automatically.
  Step 2:
Go to Access Control ->Schedule section, set the time when you want the kid to have the access to the specified websites.
  And check the settings
  Step 3:
Go to Parental Control section, set the parental PC, whose internet access performance won’t be affected by the Parental Control settings. You can input or just copy the MAC address of the parental PC. Then click Save.
  Step 4:
Set the child’s PC. You can input the MAC address manually or select the MAC address directly from the below dropdown menu if the child’s PC is connected to the router. Here we just select that from the dropdown menu.
  Step 5:
Create the specified websites group name and input the corresponding websites’ full name or their keywords. As shown below
  Step 6:
Set the effective time. By default it is any time, here we select the time “Allowed Time” which we have created in step 2. And ensure the status is enabled.
  Step 7:
Check the settings again and enable the Parental Control function.

Background
The Internet Access Control function, can control the internet activities of hosts in the LAN. Moreover, you can flexibly combine the Host（devices you want to control）, List, Target (content that you want to restrict from accessing)List and Schedule to restrict the Internet surfing of these hosts.
Scenario
Bob is the head of a small office, he has such requirements on his office network:
1. None of his staff can visit sina,soho,bbc, cnn during work time, from 9.am to  5.pm, and from Monday to Friday .
2. But he himself can have the access to any website.
So now we can use the access control function to realize the requirements.
Here we take TL-WDR4300 as an example:
Step 1:
Set time manually or synchronize it with the Internet or NTP server automatically.
  Step 2:
Go through the Setup Wizard, firstly create the host entry, here we select the IP Address mode, and set a group “Blocked IP address”, input the blocked IP addresses.
Note:
To find out the IP address of your device, please refer to How to find IP address of your computer (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10,Mac)?
      Step 3:
Create the Access Target Entry, here we select Domain Names, set a group “Blocked websites”, input the full address or keywords of the websites you want to block.
If you want to block all websites, please choose “IP Address” as Mode, input the target port from 1 to 65535, then click on Save.
Go through the Setup Wizard, firstly create the host entry, here we select the IP Address mode, and set a group “Blocked IP address”, input the blocked IP addresses.
  Step 4:
Create the Schedule Entry, which tells you when the settings will be effective. Here we create an entry “Blocked Time”, and select the day and time as below shows.
  Step 5:
Create the rule. Your above settings should be saved as one rule. Here we set the Rule Name as “office rule1”. And confirm your Host, Target, Schedule and Status.
And finish your settings.
  Step 6:
Check your settings again and enable your Internet Access Control function.
    So far we have finished the settings, you can check the function now.

[Assistant]
TP-Link wireless N and Dual-band Routers provide convenient internet Access Control function.You can flexibly combine the Host List, Target List and Schedule to restrict the Internet surfing of these hosts.This document introduce how to set up website blocking on our wireless routers and we take TL-WR1043ND as example.
Step 1: Log in to your router's web management page.
Open the web browser and type the IP address of the router (default is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) orhttp://tplinklogin.net into the address bar and then Press Enter.
When you are prompted, enter the TL-WR1043ND´s username and password (the default username and password are both admin)
Step 2:
Go to Access Control-Host,then click “Add New…”
Select "IP Address", then enter a short description for the host rule you want to define in the "Host Description:" box. Enter the IP address range on your network that you want to block access to .
In this example,the router TL-WR1043’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1,IP Range is 192.168.1.100~192.18.1.199.We are going to set up rules to block google all the time on all the devices in the network,but no restriction to any other websites.
Click "Save" - the new Host rule will now show up on the "Host Settings" page
Step 3: Go to Access Control -> Target, then click "Add New..."
Select "Domain Name" in the "Mode:" box, then enter a brief description of the rule you are setting up. In the "Domain Name:" box(es), enter the keywords you would like the router to block (these do not have to be full web addresses such as www.google.com - simply entering "google" will set the rule to block ANY domain name that contains the word "google")
Click "Save" - the new Target rule will now show up on the "Target Settings" page
Step 4: Go to Access Control -> Rule page and tick "Enable Internet Access Control", then select the option " Deny the packets specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router" (if this is set to the "Allow" option, all websites other than ones you have set Host/Target rules for will be blocked), then click "Save".
Under Access Control -> Rule, click "Add New...", then enter a brief description of the rule in the "Rule Name:" box
In the "Host:" box, select the Host rule you defined in Step 2
In the "Target:" box, select the target rule you defined in Step 3
In the "Schedule:" box, select "Anytime" (this will make the rule always active)
In the "Action:" box, select "Deny"
In the "Status:" box, select "Enabled"
Click "Save" - the new Access Control rule will now show up on the "Access Control Rule Management" page .
Step 5: To test the rule, try to browse to the site you have blocked from a host PC in the IP address range you defined in the Host rule in Step 1 (for instance, http://www.google.com ). The website will be blocked, and your web browser will report that the site/server cannot be found.
Note:
A) If you want to block certain websites not all the time,but certain period,you may configure the Schedule under Access Control-Schedule.
Since Schedule rules are based on the router’s time,please check the Time Settings on the router first,make sure it has the correct time zone and time .
1.Go to System Tools-Time Settings to check the time settings:
2.Go to Access Control-Schedule,click Add New .
3.Create the rule according to your requirement.In my example,I selected Monday to Friday,8:00 Am to 5 Pm.
B) For different models, the Default Filter Policy/Rules could be different. Please pay attention to each word of the rule .
Under this Default Filter Policy,if we choose “Allow the packets specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router”,that means by default it blocks all internet,and it will only Allow the created rules to use internet.
If we choose “Deny the packets specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router”,that means by default it allow internet to all devices,and it will only Block the created rules to use internet.
Under this Default Filtering Rules,if we choose “Allow the packets not specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router”,that means by default it allow internet to all devices,and it will only Block the created rules to use internet.
If we choose “Deny the packets not specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router”,that means by default it blocks all internet,and it will only Allow the created rules to use internet.

Access Control is usually used to control the internet access behavior of certain devices during a certain time period and at the same time, it will allow the other devices to have free access or no internet access at all.
The following is an example configuration of forbidding pc 1 (192.168.0.100) to access www.microsoft.com from 8am to 6 pm while it will allow all the other computers to access the internet freely all the time.
Step 1 Log in Archer C2( or Archer C20i)’s web interface by inputting 192.168.0.1 or tplinklogin.net (username and password are admin by default)
Step 2 Correct the Time Settings to match your local time( choose your own Time Zone; click on Get from PC---click on Save)
Step 3 go to Host, click on Add new, choose Mode as Ip address ( you may also choose MAC Address of the PC1 as well)------Description can be something you like. Ip address is 192.168.0.100 in the example’s case; Port can be blank---click on save.

Q: Application Requirement/Internet Access Control
A:

[Assistant]
Background
The Internet Access Control function, can control the internet activities of hosts in the LAN. Moreover, you can flexibly combine the Host（devices you want to control）, List, Target (content that you want to restrict from accessing)List and Schedule to restrict the Internet surfing of these hosts.
Scenario
Bob is the head of a small office, he has such requirements on his office network:
1. None of his staff can visit sina,soho,bbc, cnn during work time, from 9.am to  5.pm, and from Monday to Friday .
2. But he himself can have the access to any website.
So now we can use the access control function to realize the requirements.
Here we take TL-WDR4300 as an example:
Step 1:
Set time manually or synchronize it with the Internet or NTP server automatically.
  Step 2:
Go through the Setup Wizard, firstly create the host entry, here we select the IP Address mode, and set a group “Blocked IP address”, input the blocked IP addresses.
Note:
To find out the IP address of your device, please refer to How to find IP address of your computer (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10,Mac)?
      Step 3:
Create the Access Target Entry, here we select Domain Names, set a group “Blocked websites”, input the full address or keywords of the websites you want to block.
If you want to block all websites, please choose “IP Address” as Mode, input the target port from 1 to 65535, then click on Save.
Go through the Setup Wizard, firstly create the host entry, here we select the IP Address mode, and set a group “Blocked IP address”, input the blocked IP addresses.
  Step 4:
Create the Schedule Entry, which tells you when the settings will be effective. Here we create an entry “Blocked Time”, and select the day and time as below shows.
  Step 5:
Create the rule. Your above settings should be saved as one rule. Here we set the Rule Name as “office rule1”. And confirm your Host, Target, Schedule and Status.
And finish your settings.
  Step 6:
Check your settings again and enable your Internet Access Control function.
    So far we have finished the settings, you can check the function now.

Q: How to set up access control for website blocking on TP-Link Wireless Router (older green UI)
A:

[Assistant]
TP-Link wireless N and Dual-band Routers provide convenient internet Access Control function.You can flexibly combine the Host List, Target List and Schedule to restrict the Internet surfing of these hosts.This document introduce how to set up website blocking on our wireless routers and we take TL-WR1043ND as example.
Step 1: Log in to your router's web management page.
Open the web browser and type the IP address of the router (default is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) orhttp://tplinklogin.net into the address bar and then Press Enter.
When you are prompted, enter the TL-WR1043ND´s username and password (the default username and password are both admin)
Step 2:
Go to Access Control-Host,then click “Add New…”
Select "IP Address", then enter a short description for the host rule you want to define in the "Host Description:" box. Enter the IP address range on your network that you want to block access to .
In this example,the router TL-WR1043’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1,IP Range is 192.168.1.100~192.18.1.199.We are going to set up rules to block google all the time on all the devices in the network,but no restriction to any other websites.
Click "Save" - the new Host rule will now show up on the "Host Settings" page
Step 3: Go to Access Control -> Target, then click "Add New..."
Select "Domain Name" in the "Mode:" box, then enter a brief description of the rule you are setting up. In the "Domain Name:" box(es), enter the keywords you would like the router to block (these do not have to be full web addresses such as www.google.com - simply entering "google" will set the rule to block ANY domain name that contains the word "google")
Click "Save" - the new Target rule will now show up on the "Target Settings" page
Step 4: Go to Access Control -> Rule page and tick "Enable Internet Access Control", then select the option " Deny the packets specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router" (if this is set to the "Allow" option, all websites other than ones you have set Host/Target rules for will be blocked), then click "Save".

In the "Status:" box, select "Enabled"
Click "Save" - the new Access Control rule will now show up on the "Access Control Rule Management" page .
Step 5: To test the rule, try to browse to the site you have blocked from a host PC in the IP address range you defined in the Host rule in Step 1 (for instance, http://www.google.com ). The website will be blocked, and your web browser will report that the site/server cannot be found.
Note:
A) If you want to block certain websites not all the time,but certain period,you may configure the Schedule under Access Control-Schedule.
Since Schedule rules are based on the router’s time,please check the Time Settings on the router first,make sure it has the correct time zone and time .
1.Go to System Tools-Time Settings to check the time settings:
2.Go to Access Control-Schedule,click Add New .
3.Create the rule according to your requirement.In my example,I selected Monday to Friday,8:00 Am to 5 Pm.
B) For different models, the Default Filter Policy/Rules could be different. Please pay attention to each word of the rule .
Under this Default Filter Policy,if we choose “Allow the packets specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router”,that means by default it blocks all internet,and it will only Allow the created rules to use internet.
If we choose “Deny the packets specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router”,that means by default it allow internet to all devices,and it will only Block the created rules to use internet.
Under this Default Filtering Rules,if we choose “Allow the packets not specified by any enabled access control policy to pass through the Router”,that means by default it allow internet to all devices,and it will only Block the created rules to use internet.
