Restricting LinkSys Router

Hello,

A few years ago, when I initially installed my linksys router, I set
it up so that only the network had a password, but so that only my
current laptop could access it (I believe via the computer name). I
have a new laptop and I would like to add this computer to the
criteria, but I do not remember how to do this via the linksys
software. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Any particular Linksys model router? The hardware version (from the
serial number tag) and the firmware version (from the setup page)
would also be nice.

If the restrictions were only for the wireless network, you have a
WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption key setup on the "wireless security"
page. Use a wired ethernet connection to do the setup if you lost it.

I have no idea what this all means...

A - for the wireless side, you could have setup encryption key - WEP, WPA,
etc
B - for the wireless side, you could have used a MAC address access list

C - Some Linksys devices have a "permission list" that lists computer IP
addresses or MACs,
and the times of day they can access the router network - ala parental
controls -

So - which Linksys router do you have,
and which set of controls do you think you used ?

Hello Again,

I have Linksys Model RTP300.

Thanks

That's not a wireless router:

Without wireless encryption, your question makes little sense.
Sorry, but I can't decode what you're trying to accomplish. Try
again, this time supplying a better description of what you are trying
to accomplish. Also, the RTP300 is normally distributed by various
service providers. You might call support at your VoIP provider for
help.
