Blocking access on Ethernet using WRT150N

Is it possible on a Linksys WRT150N to block ethernet ports having access to the net. I have switched them to low in QOS but want to totally block their usage.

Shared house, cannot put router anywhere else

What is it you want to do, deny access from the LAN ports?

You could maybe try looking at alternative firmware such as DD-WRT, OpenWRT, Tomato etc. They generally offer much more flexibility in such matters.

Or get a few RJ-45 connectors, break off the clips and put them in the ports and tape over them.

It will stop "casual" connections, and be obvious when tampered with.
