Block internet access to computer, but allowing LAN access
Hello, I have an RBR40 Orbi system. I'd like to connect computers to the LAN, but not allow them to access the internet (and not allow the internet to access them). How do I do that? I have...
If you have on the Orbi "Block Services" in Advanced -> Security, you can block all ports from 1 to 65535. Make sure the device to block has a fixed/reserved DHCP IP address assigned by the router.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried this but then the computer can’t access or do anything *on* the LAN. Is there something else to try ? I want to have full access ON the LAN but no traffic with the outside world.

- You must have done something wrong. It works here as I have multiple devices that are cut off of Internet but can access everything LAN. I do not know what options an Orbi has, but on my RAX43 and R7800 routers, it works with no issues.
No, there are no other options available for this.I attach a screenshot with my config; does this look right?
Thanks for your help.
