I have seen close to what I was thinking of doing, but nothing quite seems to match up.

What I am looking to do is, possibly with IP tables in the firewall, to keep a range of IP addresses from communicating with every other device on the network except for the gateway router with NAS attached. I want all devices on the network to still be able to access the NAS on the gateway router.

So, basically, any "Smart" device I don't want talking to any other device except the router. (They're fine on their own, but when they get together, I think they're talking about me... right? LOL)

I've got them in DHCP'd to a IPv4 range of 192-199.

All devices are wired.

Can such a thing be done, with the IP range provided, through IP tables and the firewall?

I don't know how easily setting up VLANS would be, if it depends on hardwired ports.

Any thoughts, ideas?

its always like that with your router and that build you are running... Laughing

also you can separate your network with vlans but cannot limit LAN to LAN communication with iptables rules as the firewall works WAN to LAN only...
you better isolate either with vlans or another router
i ve found that with another router was more flexible for me in the past but its one more device case....
