In order to configure the network equipment, you sometimes need to configure the gateways yourself. To disconnect the desired device from the network, you need to turn off the gateway connected to the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
Launch an Internet browser on a computer that is connected to the network equipment to open the router's settings menu. Enter its ip address and press Enter. Then enter the password and username to access the settings of the network equipment.
Step 2
If you need to disconnect all networked computers completely, then disconnect the Internet connection to the router. To do this, go to the Status menu. In it you will find the status of the network connection. Then click on "Disable".
Step 3
If you need to disconnect certain devices from the network or the Internet, open the special advanced options menu. Next, go to the "Routing Table" item. Select the required local port, then delete all routes. This method allows you to reset all static routes. If the DHCP function is active, then computers will be able to access the Internet.
Step 4
If you are using an ASUS router, open the menu called "Status", find the list of devices that are connected to the router and the network diagram.
Step 5
Now you can select the desired computer or laptop and set the Disable parameter. It is recommended to use this method of disabling the gateway only if computers are connected through network hubs to the router. That is, several PCs are connected to the LAN port of the router at once.
Step 6
If one PC for which you need to disable the gateway is connected directly to the LAN port, then you just need to physically break this connection by pulling out the network cable.
Step 7
If you want to disconnect a certain computer from the network for a long time, then enter the MAC address of its network card in the router table. To do this, set the MAC addresses to Disable. Restart your router to apply all settings changes.
