restrict access to network computer

[Filipkindt]

Hi
I don't know much about networking, so here is my question.

I use an Asus RT-ac3200 router.



How can I restrict a network computer (via LAN) to access other network computers.

This network computer has still to be able to access network printers.

How can I set this up this in my router?

Thanks!

If by "via LAN" you mean the computer is connected to the LAN by Ethernet cable (rather than WiFi) then it is not possible using the Asus.

Thank you for your reply.

Also not with a VLAN or dmz or other rules?

No. The Asus doesn't have VLAN support.

A VLAN is a way to do it. Also if you have ACL, access control lists, then you can do it without a VLAN. This is the way I would do it on my Cisco small business routers and switches. A lot of consumer gear does not support these functions. It one of the reasons I think it is better to run small business gear.
