gs724t restrict internet access
Hi I am using netgear gs724t, there are 24 computers connected to this device and computers can access the internet. How do I turn off access to the Internet without disturbing network communication...
I don't think that this is possible to work if you wanted those specific computers not to access the internet. Once you disable the internet access, even your own computer will no longer access the web as you don't have any VLAN configured on your network. If your router is capable of doing VLAN, then you may create a network for your students and restrict it from the router. The switch doesn't have any capability or feature for them to block internet access.
If ever your concern has been addressed or resolved, I encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution. The NETGEAR Community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!

"Do you mean you want to turn off specific computers so that they cannot access the internet?"
Yes, I would like to close the Internet access of students
"Do you have VLANs?"
No.
"Do you mean you only wanted them to have access in the local area network?"
I want to check the students' computers (netsupport), but they can't use the internet (because netsupport can't restrict internet)
