Hi thesuffering,
What you can try is use a combination of features: Address reservation, Schedule, and Block Services.

Third, set to block all services. Steps are linked below.

I didnt notice the part about setting them in a range. Did that, and the router allowed me to set the range. Itd make more sense to just let me pick whatever IPs I want, but address reservation and the range worked well enough.
