Router: RT-AX92U:

I have an IOT device that I want to restrict to internet only. Very much like my hidden guest network that I have setup for my wireless IOT devices (with the Access Intranet = false). I expect there is a way I could do this via Firewall Rules or maybe by adding a Static Route. Anyone have an easy way to accomplish this?
 
I don't know what is possible on AX92U. I know you can use a router in bridge mode and connect it to your guest network. You'll get LAN ports restricted to what guest network is restricted to. Not the cheapest, but pretty easy way. Should work with any main router. BTW, hidden network doesn't help much security wise.
 
Thanks for the input. Your solution would definitely work, but I'm not dedicated enough to this to put in more hardware. I'm hoping for a software (on router) solution, otherwise I'll let it be.
 
Possible with custom firmware (asuswrt-merlin, tomato, dd-wrt) and VLAN tagging. Not possible on official ASUSWRT, as far as I know.
 
JCima, You might have a look at the output of ebtables -L to give you an idea how it's getting done with your router and firmware.
