Cut certain device form the Internet
Hi all,
I have a retro PC with windows XP on it. I would like to be able to access it via LAN, but (for known reasons) I would like this device to be cut off from the Internet.
Where in the router menu can I perform such an operation ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

@szymok Ok, temporary solution may be to use parental controls, still I belive there should be a kind of dedicated option?

Hi,
If there were two separate ways to cut the Internet access of a client device, then wouldn't they interfere with each other?
Like, if Parental Controls said "Internet=off", while the "other" option said "Internet=on", or vice versa, then what should happen in the end?
By the way, what do you not like about using the Parental Controls feature of the Archer C80 to cut Internet access to a device?

I am using Parental Controls to cut the Internet off for a cetain device (Archer C64) and it works as expected.
There's no other specific mechanism for isolating a device from Internet access like an old green UI models - details.

I do not see any conflict here, it should be enough that one of the options is set to off then access to the Internet will be blocked.
If this is the way to disconnect all devices from the Internet then it is very unintuitive. We don't always cut off a given device for parental control reasons is one, secondly, in the parental control option blocking internet access is described as “PAUSED” what does that even mean? For how long is this access paused ? Does it blok only www service? Can somebody from the outside get into this device? Are all protocols blocked in all directions?
This is not a trustworthy solution.
