Access Control - Orbi
Hardware Version RBR50
Firmware Version V2.7.2.102
GUI Language Version V1.0.0.375 After recent upgrade to above mentioned firmware I lost "access control" from web GUI. From what I understood so...
So just a quick update: we had a power outage recently which forced my Orbi to the power cycle. Looks like Orbi realized that his owner is a bit pissed due to that Access Control feature not being available and "it fixed itself". This morning, just randomly checking the status of the devices on the network I saw "Access Control* being available again. I do not like this behavior but seems like the only thing which was required from me to do was a power cycle procedure instead of just rebooting the device. Anyway, closing this thread and looking forward to write another questions as my Orbi announced new firmware being available for me.
Thanks to all who responded !
This is quite interesting ... same FW, same HW and different screen .. Can someone please explain this to me ? There must be some logical explanation ...

I have 2.7.2.102 on my "spare Orbi" which I got a year ago (used on eBay) to experiment with Voxel's Orbi firmware. Have never connected the Orbi "app" to this one. (To be completely honest, I am not 100% certain how to do that since this Orbi has never been registered to my Netgear account and I don't want to mess up the app that is tied to my "in use" Orbi.)
Maybe "something happens" when the Orbi app is tied to an Orbi running firmware 2.7.2.102?
If Access Control is important, I would get out my trusty paperclip and reset the Orbi.
