Model: Archer AX50  
Hardware Version: V1

I want to setup a minecraft LAN server with port forwarding and want to make it so only a specific ip address can join through the port. Is it possible?

Hi,

 

This is not possible with the Archer AX50. TP-Link does not support to specify a source ("from") IP address within the Port Forwarding rules.

 

In fact, the same applies to most of TP-Link's competitors as well. I own Wi-Fi routers of at least seven different brands and only the device of one certain company ("U..q..ti") supports it.

I've already enabled access control whitelist, but im unsure if it will work against potential connection attempts
