Hello taholmes160,

 

I understand that you would like to block services from the internet to one device. Blocking the correct ports to an IP address will disable services to that device. 

 

Please ensure that the IP address configured for the device is statically assigned and is a reserved IP address. 

 

 

 

To reserve an IP address for your router please follow the instructions listed below. 

 

First: Advanced > Lan setup > Address Reservation > ADD

 

Next: Input the MAC address along with IP address and device name

 

Then: Select the green  "ADD" button

 

 

Please let me know if this helps!

 

Best

Kevin
