GOALS
=====
Manage access to the DD-WRT repeater bridge. Specifically, implement controls at the R-Bridge:
A) No Torrenting, youtube or similar is fine
B) Administrator to control wifi access via MAC address
c) No traffic from wired-in access points traffic into R-Bridge.
These controls are important because, I want to limit which devices can access wifi AND prevent any issues.
QUESTIONS:
==========
1) Is it possible to engage DD-WRT (Device #2) to implement controls A) & B)? The goal is to have separate controls at the gateway.
2) Is it necessary / desirable / advantageous to create a separate guest wifi network and attach the device #2 to it via wifi? If yes, continue to use R-bridge mode?
3) Can wired device access be controlled at the R-Bridge via MAC address? or is there a better way?

Reconfigured the remote router as a wireless CLIENT (no longer a repeater bridge) to isolate remote users from my LAN. I have attempted to block P2P by adding keyword triggers:
Code:
AccessRestrictions -> WAN Access -> Website Blocking by Keyword
announce
torrent
utorrent
tracker
This policy was named P2P and was enabled. The LAN IPs affected were specified as 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254
