Yes - Checkout the Banned module - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/36/banned-items

You can't enter an IP range, but you can block an IP class or block - i.e.
192.168.1.
would block 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.1.255

10.10.
would block 10.10.0.1 -> 10.10.255.255

If you need to block actual ranges, you'll want to do that with a DENY directive in your site's .htaccess file - i.e.:

Also - would recommend setting up the Spam Blocker module:

with a new user quarantine period.
