Block access to all websites except one on a router

Hi!

 

I want to setup a public wifi on my router but restrict all clients from accessing the internet except one or a few websites (.i.e. whitelist).  Does anybody know if this is possible on a Netgear router?  If so, which router has this capability?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

    tu2201,

     

    Welcome to the community! :)

     

    I'm afraid to inform you that the NETGEAR BR500 router does not support whitelist.  However, you can set up keyword and domain blocking.  As reference, kindly read pages 55-56 of the BR500 user manual here

     

    Note that the BR500 is not a wireless router. 

     

     

    Regards.
