Model: Archer AX6000  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.4

Hello,

 

I was just looking at trying to block a few sites across all devices on my network on my Archer AX-6000. I'm not finding much online or poking through the settings on the local router admin page. I found that Parental Controls lets you restrict access to preset categories (including somewhat more granular options, but still limited to what TP-Link includes in their dropdown) on a per device basis.

 

How do I restrict access to particular domains for all connected hosts? This seems like a very basic feature so I must be overlooking something.

One way is to use a different DNS server. Some give you the option to block specific IPs. Check the different ones out.

  @ArcherC8 Is that the only way? I'd be really shocked that a basic feature such as site blocking isn't a simple option on this.

I have not used url blocking but I know an Asus router had it. Not sure if TP Link has a router that does or the extent of other brands.
