Model: TD-W9970  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.0 0.9.1 v009f.0 Build 190419 Rel.34272n

Unless I am misunderstanding this the firewall only controls traffic between WAN and LAN - it doesn't control any traffic between the internal LAN.

Hey

 

 

Yes you are correct, the hardware firewall on this device is WAN to LAN traffic only

 

Hardware LAN firewalls are not generally a thing for home users, in most cases LAN firewalls are software and come as part of an AV or Network solution (SEP, Bitdefender etc).
