Access Control on RBR50 with V2.5.0.38 firmware
Since that last firmware upgrade the systems Access Control is all a mess. It even managed to Block one of my Satellites so I ended up having to turn off Access Control. Also I fear that if I reboot...

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update? I believe someone posted about this not too long ago with similar issues with access controls. I believe it was resolved with a reset of the RBR.

Thanks for the fast reply, No I have not tried a factory reset of the router yet... I did see that mentioned on a search but wanted to post here before I did that to see if that was the only solution.

Seen odd issues with this FW update. Resets seems to help fix most of them.

Let us know if the reset fixes what your seeing.
Also be sure to clear out all browser caches as well. Get a fresh from the web page.
Not seeing this with v38 loaded. Manual FW upated and factory reset the RBR for mine.

Good for you, then you have no problems therefore have nothing to add.

- AkoreJepadeNov 09, 2019TutorPerformed a factory reset yesterday and everything seemed to work fine until late last night when thunderstorms came through and knocked out the power, this morning random devices where Blocked in Access Control again. 4 devices, 3 Sonos players and one computer... Going to have to leave Access Control off and hope that the next firmware update they roll out fixes it.
