DIR-655 Block Certain PCs From Internet

Quick and dirty way. On each PC you dont want to connect to the internet leave the default gateway blank in the network settings. This will give it LAN access but it wont know how to get outside of that. I dont think its possible to do it router side with the 655
 
On the DIR-655 Advanced Tab, go to Access Control. Create a Policy and add the computers you want to block access (select block all access) and your done. They will still have access to your LAN.

Will the blocked machines be safe from internet attacks? (ie. can I run them without firewall/AV?).

All the machines that have internet access have firewall/AV, so they should arrest any malicious attempts to access other LAN machines, right?

The blocked machines will be safe because their behind your router and plus Internet traffic is blocked for those machines as well.

The machines that aren't blocked still have protection behind your router/firewall but you should still turn on windows firewall.

"so they should arrest any malicious attempts to access other LAN machines, right"

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Are you saying that the machines with the internet access with firewall/av should protect the machines with restricted internet access?
