Here's how to Block specific IP addresses on Asus router.

i. Blocking a specific IP address on the ASUS RT-AX3000 router involves using the Access Control feature. Here's a general guide on how you can do this:

1. **Access the Router Interface:**
- Open a web browser on a device connected to your ASUS router.
- Enter the router's IP address in the address bar. The default IP is often "192.168.1.1." If you have changed it, use the updated IP.

2. **Log In:**
- Enter your router's username and password. If you haven't changed them, the default credentials are typically "admin" for both.

3. **Navigate to the Access Control Settings:**
- Once logged in, look for the "Access Control" or "Network Services Filter" section. The exact wording may vary depending on your router's firmware.

4. **Enable Access Control:**
- Enable the Access Control feature if it's not already enabled.

5. **Add the IP Address to the Blocked List:**
- Locate the option to add devices to a block list or enter specific IP addresses to block.
- Enter the IP address you want to block.

6. **Save Settings:**
- After adding the IP address to the block list, save your settings. This is typically done by clicking an "Apply" or "Save" button.

7. **Reboot the Router (if necessary):**
- In some cases, changes may require a router reboot to take effect. Check if your router interface prompts you to do so, and if needed, reboot your router.

Keep in mind that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the firmware version of your ASUS RT-AX3000 router. If you encounter any difficulties, consult your router's manual or ASUS support resources for detailed instructions tailored to your device.

Blocking IP addresses should be done responsibly, ensuring that you have valid reasons for restricting access to your network.

### Using URL Filtering (for certain models):
