The original problem with v2.7.1.60 continues to be an issue with v2.7.2.102.
Netgear, please fix this issue. The Security/Access Control page in the web browser UI behaves erratically. There is definitely some sort of MAC or IP conflict issue that has not been fixed. Turning on/off access for a device is impacting connectivity of other devices on the network.
Unfortunately I had to disable auto updates (thanks for not including this option in the UI) because after re-installing 2.7.0.70, the router auto-updated itself overnight to 2.7.2.102. I would like to be able to install a more recent version of the firmware someday.
Are you setting IP address reservations for the devices in the access control list before enabling it?
Contact NG support about this to let them know. NG doesn't hang out in the forums to check for problems.
