Give it a DHCP reservation, create a firewall rule to disallow access outside of your network to that IP address you assigned it.

DHCP reservation is how you handle internal clients, you take its MAC address..and tell DHCP to give that NIC a specific LAN IP every single time...so for example, //that// computer will always get 192.168.1.189.

Now in your firewall rules, deny internet access to 192.168.1.189

MAC filtering is an old, outdated, insecure method of allowing/disallowing wireless clients, not wired. It is easily bypassed, therefore it's not a common feature seen (not to mention used) on wired routers...especially business grade models.

Log into your RV082 routers web admin
Long the top row of navigation tabs in black..the 3rd one in from the left is called "DHCP"...click on that.
Right in the middle of that page is where you create your static entries for DHCP.
