    You mean like content filtering? I don't know about the N1, but there are many times ways to block specific IP addresses from being accessed in the setup. You can open a Command Line on Windows and type "nslookup www.sitenametoblock.com" and that will return the IP address of the site if your router will not do host-based blocking. Anything more powerful will probably involve running a proxy server or an actual router/computer with routing capabilities, rather than just a plug and play box.
