On my access control page in the router one device always shows Blocked even though it's not blocked. I never set it to be blocked. If I remove the device the next one on the list shows blocked. I...
I have the same problem. I have my solar plugged into the satilite and it shows it is blocked. Everything eles is allowed. I also tried to change the block to allow and it would not change.
Hello John01
There is a new Firmware out for orbi and I have seen another customer having the block issue said it was fixed after updating.

just updated and it seems to have fixed the problem.
I updated and while it did correct those pesky problems, my router went solid Magenta after the update. I had to do a factory reset and set everything up again. This also happened when I did my initial set up. Why does this happen? The router should not require a factory reset after a firmware update.
I did the firmware update today to V1.4.0.34 and the issue for device status showing blocked looks like it's been resolved. Really smooth update today. Clicked on the notification on the top of the Orib web page in the router went right to the firmware update page and the router and two satelliites showed the newer version ready to be installed. Just hit the install button and within 5 minutes everything was updated all deivces rebooted and reconnected and working just fine.
...Well.....I did the update to V1.4.0.34...and it was really simple, fast and seamless....but even after the update, if my Samsung Galaxy S5 is connected to my network via one of the 2 satellites, it shows as BLOCKED, the Mac Address is simply an "s", and the device type shows as "phone<"....it works at lightning speeds.....178+Mbps...but all the same unexplained anomolies are still there...
