The speedtouch has internal webpages accessed at the speedtouch.lan
address such as what you pasted above or http://192.168.1.254

Those pages aren't useful to post here for us because they are in your
router which we can't access.

// To access the SpeedTouch via the Web interface - In the address bar,
type your SpeedTouch’s IP address or DNS host name
(http://speedtouch.lan or 192.168.1.254 by default) //

According to the manual (at Thomson's site), you should be able to
register your LAN devices to the ACL either by using the router's
register/association button on the front or by using the speedtouch
webpage interface.

That excluding setting is called "Not allowed: Only allowed stations in
the ACL have access." but it requires that the/your desired stations be
properly registered in the ACL accesscontrollist and it only works
properly until there is a factory default reset.

However, if you reset the router to factory defaults, all of the
settings are lost and it reverts to a very insecure and promiscuous
mode. That reset can take place from its webpage interface or with the
reset button on the back.

There are also other security measures you can take, such as not
broadcasting the router's SSID.
