Block Social Media on Your Office WiFi

Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions

1. For FTTH Routers (BSNL / Private ISPs)

FTTH routers like Syrotech and Netlink are very common in India.

• Step 1: Connect to WiFi and open 192.168.1.1.

• Step 2: Log in (Default pass is often stdONU101 or Syro@43210$).

• Step 3: Go to the Security tab on the top menu.

• Step 4: Select URL Filter from the left sidebar.

• Step 5: Enable URL Filtering, select “Blacklist,” and add www.instagram.com. Click Add/Apply.

2. For Jio & Airtel Users

These providers prefer you use their apps for a better user interface.

• JioFiber: Use the MyJio App. It is the easiest way to block specific devices or websites without touching complex IP settings.

• Airtel: Activate the Airtel Secure Internet service (usually a small monthly fee or included in high-end plans) to block categories like “Social Networking” with one click.

3. For Basic Brand Routers (TP-Link/D-Link)

• TP-Link: Look for Advanced > Parental Controls. You can create a “Profile” for the whole office and add “Keywords” like facebook to block all related traffic.

• Asus: Use the AiProtection menu. It has a dedicated “Web & Apps Filters” section where you can check a box for “Social Networking.”
