I've got a D-Link 713P here that is working just fine... Question, is it
outbound or inbound traffic that is getting blocked?  If it is outbound
then I've got a page that falls under the title Packet Filter.  The
Default here was to block all outbound except special rules from
specific boxes.  Then a button at the bottom to do the same for inbound.
Filtering can either be done in general or by mac address.
