1.32NA broke Website Filtering?
« on: December 18, 2009, 02:04:01 PM »
Well I always block facebook and myspace and it has worked until I just upgraded to the newest BIOS, now it wont work for anything any more.  Anyone else having this problem?  Am I allowed to call D-Link about this problem or will they try and charge me for support?

I have tried multiple sites in the web filtering and nothing gets blocked.

Oh and YES I do have it turned on to DENY access to the sites listed ONLY.

Thank You

Fixed my own problem.

Needless to say I am unimpressed with D-Link support!  Sent an email about the problem, I get a response back!  Oh wait, the response was just to question me as to WHY I upgraded my firmware - HUH?  I am guessing the monkey pushed the wrong button or else they just want to insult my intelligence by saying the same crap I hear time and time again - don't upgrade the firmware unless you are having problems.  How stupid is that?  I want the newer firmware to solve any problems BEFORE I have them.  Alsa, I was having some problems, but that awesomely helpful support response just ticked me off. 

Now for the solution - turn SecureSpot off - I know, difficult huh - lol  glad tech support helped me SOOOOOOO much

It is sad when people on the forums know more about a product than their own "expert" tech support people do.  What is this world coming to, its sad.

Sadly, D-link usually bans the people with the actual knowledge from posting in the forums.

Good choice to turn securespot off.
No need for it at all, nothing there you can't do with opendns.
Even a few advantages for opendns:
1) opendns will not affect router performance
2) opendns will still work when you switch to new fw
3) opendns will still work when you switch to new router from D-Link
4) opendns will also work on other brands.

Well the problem is not fixed now - it was working, but now all of a sudden it isnt.  I restarted the router and everything, but the website filtering is not working again.

I have not changed any settings in the router since turning SecureSpot off.  It was working for a while, but now it is broke again. :(

Any ideas?
