Does anyone know if it is possible to block multicast packets from a particular wired device from hitting the wifi and limit it just to the cabled devices?

Alternatively, is it possible to modify the base rate of the WiFi?

Hello,

You can split WiFi and wired interfaces into different LAN networks. Did you try it?

Please take a look at VLAN section in our wiki:

I hadn't thought of separate VLANs. That's a great suggestion. I have segratated the WiFi onto it's own separate VLAN. What's the simplest way to allow traffic between the 2 VLANs but just allowing unicast traffic?

Because now traffic should be going through routers firewall, I was thinking that you could drop all UDP traffic between WiFi VLAN and LAN which effectively should drop multicast altogether.

Traffic rules menu can be found in Network > Firewall > Traffic Rules, create New Forward Rule

I'm attaching an example of configuration:

But I would suggest you to test if Multicast traffic reaches WiFi network without these rules first, you may not need them then.
