AC-RT68U: allow certain clients to connect to certain IPs only

[ithinkurdumb]

I did some basic search but couldn't find this being discussed before, so forgive me if has.

I have several Wi-Fi cameras that are connected to a D-Link router. The D-Link router is set to allow the cameras (determined by their IPs) to only connect to a certain IP address (an NVR server on the Internet). I set it this way to prevent the cameras from sending images/telemetry to somewhere else.

The D-Link router is getting old and I want to replace it with an AC-RT68U I have in spare. However, I couldn't find corresponding settings on the RT68U. The closest I found was Firewall\Network Services Filter, which can achieve this using the white list mode. However, it would also prevent other clients on the router from accessing the Internet.

Did I miss something?

I would use blacklist mode, set the source IP to be your IP Cam, and leave the remote IP empty. In theory it should block all their Internet access (this is untested tho).

But would I be able to allow the cameras to connect to a single Internet IP? Anyway, I will give it a try and report back.

Just realized that you are the RMerlin. Excited to see you replying my thread
