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 ?

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.
