Region : Canada

Model : Archer C7

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : 3.14.1 Build 140929 Rel.33293n

ISP :


I'm trying to configure my Archer C7 v2, which I use as an Access Point, to allow a specific MAC address to only access the main Internet gateway (192.168.0.1) and no other internal IP addresses. Is there a way to do this or do I need to be using the Archer C7 as a router to do this?

Access point+wireless MAC filtering?
Refer to the post here to configure it as an access point.

You can configure wireless MAC filtering following the guide below.

As far as I can tell, this will completely block the specified Wireless device from accessing the network entirely. I want to give it access to the gateway (another router) and no other internal network devices. I can imagine how I would do this with iptables, but I can't see how I can do this with the Archer C7.

Like guest network?

If so, the problem is that you cannot configure C7 as an AP because you have to "
Allow Guest to Access My Local Network” to access internet.

That's why I was trying using the Access Control rules, which seem to be completely ineffective when the C7 is acting as an access point. I guess I'll just have to get a better wireless router.
