Windows 10: how to allow connection to wifi (internet) but not home network

Hello guys,

I need some help to setup my network. Best way is to explain my situation so you can understand what exactly is going on!

I live in a building and have two separate small units located side by side. The are small and my wifi covers both apartments.
In the apartment I live I use my pc and my nvidia shield on a network and have my shared folders and drives from the PC.
I want to allow my guests and friends to have access to internet by connecting to the wifi. But I want to be sure that they
are not able to access my network (file and folders on my pc).

Is there a way to restrict network access by mac address or any other trick? If this is not possible I don't mind buying a
separate router (modem) for the other apartment. But that modem will also get internet from MY apartment.

:)

 

Connecting computer with no internet connection to network printer

1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig
   
   
   
2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
   Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
   NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
   
   
   

 

Kick or Ban who is connected with my internet ?


You would have to do that on your Router's setup webpage. 1st step is to turn on WiFi encryption and password. 2nd step, if you feel you need to, is set up an access list of the physical MAC addresses for the network adapters of the computers you want to allow to connect. Any other network adapter not on that MAC filter list won't be able to connect. (but MAC addresses can be easily spoofed, if the third person knows which MAC addresses are allowed).

You should still be able to use NavyLCDR's second step without changing the WiFi password.
