Hardware Version: A1
Firmware: 1.04 (had no luck with 1.02 either)
Region: USA
Factory Reset Performed: No
Problem:
I have configured in tools\schedules a rule that takes place every day from 9:30 p.m. till 10:00 a.m.
I then went to Advanced\Access control and configured a rule to block my sons electronic devices (specified by their MAC addresses) from talking to the internet and told it to use the schedule rule I created.  
I then rebooted the router.  Unfortunately the Access control does not appear to be working as the electronic devices I established access controls for are still able to access the internet during the times I told the router they shouldn't.  Has anyone had any success in implementing access controls on this router?  Did I miss a step?

Router and Wired Configurations
Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router.

• Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual or under Setup/PARENTAL CONTROL/Set to>None: Static IP or Obtain Automatically From ISP.
• Enable Use Unicasting (compatibility for some ISP DHCP Servers) under Setup/Internet/Manual.
• Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking. Link>Finding Faster DNS Addresses using Name Bench
• Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting.
• Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
• Set current Time Zone, Date and Time. Use an NTP Server feature. Tools/Time.

I recommend that when you do FW updates, please follow this:
 FW Update Process

This ensures FW is updated correctly and I recommend setting up from scratch after the last Factory Reset.

To set up scheduling:
1. Reserve device IP addresses ON the router under Setup/Networking.
2. Set up a schedule under Tools/Schedule on the routers web page. Customize your dates and times here.
3. Use Access Control under Advanced to apply the customized schedule to a policy and to the PC(s) desired to be controlled.
