Adjust your router's configuration to restrict access to specific IP addresses.
Adjust your router's configuration to restrict access to specific IP addresses.
Hello, I need to set up my router so only specific IP addresses get internet access. When you connect via a wired connection and are approved, you should have access. This should work for now. If you have any tips or know the exact steps, it would be really helpful. My Asus RT-AX53U router.
I believe you need a more advanced router for this task. However, I think ASUS offers an option to assign IP addresses to specific devices after they're connected, and then control their internet access. This feature seems limited to devices already on your network. I'm unsure if modern devices will support VLANs or multiple SSIDs with different configurations. Also, I noticed my iPhone hides its MAC address for Wi-Fi at times—it appears as a different device. That’s confusing. If you want wireless devices to stay offline until approved, don’t connect them directly to your Wi-Fi network. Similarly, if you prefer wired devices to be accessible only after approval, avoid plugging them in without authorization.
I need a wireless connection without cables. I require this since I use a dual-boot setup—one system needs internet while the other doesn’t. I don’t want to disconnect it, as I rely on my local server and don’t want to accidentally go online. This is necessary because of work requirements, and for personal use too.
I can't directly disable network drivers on your work system. Please consult your system administrator or refer to the appropriate documentation for instructions.
Certain routers include an Access Control feature, typically relying on MAC addresses. To make it work, you may need to adjust the MAC settings on at least one operating system.
Yes, you have a single machine with two boot partitions. This means the hardware is identical, but the operating systems are separate. At the router level, it can't fix this issue because it only sees the physical components. If you're running the work OS, you can disable network adapters via the control panel. For stricter isolation, you might need to remove the network drivers from that OS.
Consider configuring a DNS router on the network and directing the work machine to it. You could also set up a POH to achieve this. Avoid using an upstream DNS server; instead, make sure all machines have their local access enabled for static IPs. Load those static IPs into the custom DNS area of POH, then configure WorkOS to use POH's DNS settings.
