I have this router (Asus Wireless-N300 Router
). Also I have Windows 7 workstation
and ipad 4
. The workstation
is connected to router with help a ethernet cable
. Ipad 4
gets internet on wifi
.
I want to block specific sites on wifi network. For example, I want to block the site http://example.com on Ipad, but this site have to work on the workstation. To complete this task, I wish to block sites for Wireless network. I don't know, how to do this.
The router has a classic dashboard, which available on http://192.168.1.1/ But there is no some setting, which can block sites on wifi.
I know one workaround solution. I can deploy own dns server, add domain example.com
to black list in this server, and add example.com 23.43.41.15
to host file on windows workstation. But this solution is so complicated for such simple task.
thank you for response. I have one question. How to block sites only for WI-FI network? Default asus firmware allows to block sites by url. But, if I add some site to block list, then this site will be blocked for workstation too. But I don't want to block sites for workstation. – Denis – 2015-01-27T17:15:42.440
Hello @Denis, unfortunately default possibilities do not allow this. The WiFi and Ethernet LAN are on one VLAN and firewall features are also common for all of them. There is possible advanced solution: to add allow rules for specific IP addresses, i.e. your workstations, which allows ALL HTTP traffic on them.

But be aware, while it opens up a lot of capability, changing to non-factory firmware can be challenging. It's easy to brick the device by accident. Be sure to find and download or print instructions for doing a full factory reset BEFORE working on your router!
