How do I block a device from accessint internet through ASUS RT-AC68U router

Question

I have some internet connected appliances connected to the wireless network. I want them to be able to give cycle end notices to anyone in the house (on the wireless net) but not 100 miles away (e.g., my son gets every notice of our laundry getting done). I tried the firewall network services filter. I just filled in the machine IP addresses. Assumed the blank fields would block all traffic. TCP protocol was selected (had to pick something). This did not work. Any idea what would?

Solution

On the network map screen (main screen) click "Clients", then click on the icon next to device details.

On the new popup screen you can switch "block internet access" ON/OFF

The parental controls seem to only block certain content (e.g., social media, on-line games, etc.), not entire access to the outside network.

Not sure if happened to you but I needed to reboot my router (RT-AX92U)
