When I go into access control(on mobile app as this feature is not available for some reason in the desktop browser control) and click the radio button to disable internet for it, those on the LAN lose connectivity to it.

 

How do I block the printer from being seen by the internet while still being visible to those devices on the LAN?

 

I should be able to simply block devices from accessing the WAN. Why is this so hard?

 

 

 

P.S. I have the RBK853 AX6000, not the RBK53 AC3000, but your system doesn't list what I have and won't let me put my actual model in the model field.
