Yes, it can. Many routers have firewall as an option. If it was configured to block connection for port 80 (outgoing), it will not have internet. There are other options allow to block access to internet. Read the manual.

Another meaning could be... Can you block certain computers from the network?

Most routers have a feature like a Black-list for Mac addresses.

Lets assume you want to block 00:00:00:00:00:00

0.Connect your Computer to the router (wireless and Ethernet are both fine) :)

1.Read your router manual and try to find what you need to type into the address bar of your web browser in order to access the router controls. ( should be similar to 192.168.10.1)

2.Search around for a Filter or only Deny these addresses button.(Note This is different for every manufacturer so I can't tell you exactly where it is)

I hope it helped

Does a router allow sharing of a broadband internet connection?

Absolutely! This is the primary function of most home routers.A home router will normally share it's internet connection by default. You could block access to the internet, in which case the computers on your LAN (eg in your house) can still talk to each other through the router, but not to computers outside (ie on the internet).In order to share you must make sure that NAT (Network Address Translation) is enabled. Many home and home/office routers enable this by default and will allow you to share an internet connection out of the box, but some do not. You will have to look for this in the configuration of the device, usually in the WAN or Internet page/tab of the device settings.

Laptop with linskey wireless router how do you prevent other from piggybacking your internet?

You have at least three choices: 1. Create a secured network (in the wireless properties it has to be the option "Security" use it to make up a key which will be required to connect to your router). This is the best option. 2. You can activate so called "Black list" (it's when you know who you want to block to connecting to your router, you just block that user's MAC address, everybody else are allowed to connect to). 3. You can use so called "White list" (it's when users with MAC addresses in the list are allowed to connect to the router, everybody else is blocked automatically). The first option is the best it prevents users who are not allowed to connect to your router and also it encrypts your traffic between the wireless adapter and the router. PS: If it's possible use WEP-PSK AES or WEP2-PSK AES.
