Ok, I will try to follow all of the rules:

previous version before upgrade: DD-wrt v24 micro generic sp2
first I have a linksys WRT54G V8.0 router. I had read on a forum post that it was possible to upgrade this router to the v24 special micro, So I bought this version, here is the summary of it in the top of the browser:
DD-WRT v24-sp1 (07/27/0 micro-special
(SVN revision 10012)
here is the link to what i bought

http://www.dd-wrt.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=31

So here are the steps I took.
one, wrote down all of the mac addresses i had in the system, 52 of them,
two disabled wireless, firewalls.
3. performed hard reset, 30-30-30
4.remade password
5. went in throught webgui and upgraded firmware. never got a process complete, the lights never went out on the router either. Never the less, i waited 3 minutes.
6. unplugged power, let it sit for 30 seconds. (I used a stopwatch for all timing)
7. restored power, light came back to normal in about 20 seconds, nevertheless i waited two minutes per instructions.
8. Hard reset again, 30-30-30-
9. Made new password
10. re-entered all 52 mac addresses.

and this is where the problem is: before all of this, I had mac address filtering on, and only these 52 users were allowed access to the router. any other computer that tried to access was told, cannot connect to router.

After i entered in the mac address's i went and hit enable, and then permit only clients listed. when i hit permit only, and applied, it blocked all computers, regardless of if they are in the list or not. if i turn it off, or if i click deny, ALL computers are allowed access, in short, wireless mac filtering is not working for this version of ddwrt.

So my question is, and i have searched the forums for the last two hours. am i missing something? I am wanting to eventually do POS service and limit bandwith to several users, but as of right now i cant even use mac filtering at all.

Thank you for your time

At the top of this forum are newer builds then the one you purchased. (yes...there are updates to the shop builds from time to time)

I suggest you get the 13525 build of micro....its seems to be pretty stable....then try your filter list again.
