RBR850 - Disable Internet Access but enable local intranet access
I just bought the RBR850 and am struggling to find in the user manual the instructions on how to disable Internet access for a device on my network but allow local network devices to connect to it. ...
Thank you. I did precisely that but I find that the device was still able to access the internet. Traffic from the device was not restricted to the local network. I have to figure out a way to test traffic to the device from outside the network.
For example, I have the following setting but this laptop can still access the internet. I also tried Service type = All but the setting didn't prevent internet access from the device.

Aditionally, I don't see the ability to restrict services for the guest wireless network. Any insights on how to do that is appreciated too.

I am not aware of any method to restrict internet access for devices on the Guest WiFi network (There is no concept of Guest on the wired network.) The entire purpose of having a Guest network is for "Guests" to connect. I suppose one could make the case, "I want to have some folks over to play WOV (World of Vomit) on my LAN server, but don't want them getting to the internet."
I mean, it's OK for them to have access to my personal resources, but not the internet?
Since this is posted in the Parental Controls forum, my guess is that there is a struggle going on and you are losing. Sorry.
