How to restrict access between WAN and LAN?

Post by lokus »

Hi there all. I don't know how to configure the router for my needs. Situation is like this:

ISP Modem/Router/AP 192.168.0.1 which takes all my cable/Wifi devices than cable RJ45 goes into WAN of Tp-Link WR-741ND V1.1 (Gargoyle 1.1). This Tp-Link I want to use for wifi connectin to Smart Sockets / Smart Bulbs and other Smart Cloud devices and I don't trust those devices so I want them sit in restricted separated wifi on separate router/ap.

Tp-link 192.168.100.254 can ping to 192.168.0.15 - pc connected through RJ45 with ISP main router. But I don't want tp-link and all devices connected to it to get access to other computers from 192.168.0.x. How to do it?

Can you please confirm what version you're running?
Is it really "Gargoyle 1.1"? If so, why such an old version.

You can use the Firewall -> Restrictions page and block the 192.168.0.1/24 subnet.
Note that you might need to allow the upstream router specifically for DHCP/DNS etc.

Please be respectful when posting. I do this in my free time on a volunteer basis.
