      DarrenM,

      I am on firmware 1.4.0.34 and no, it is not fixed

      My Sony televison has a mac address of "/OrbiDevName1\>".

      Also, the selection for QoS is not available. You have something wrong in one
      of your HTML extensions

        Has anyone had trouble with more than 1 device being *REALLY* blocked? I have a Linux desktop downstairs and it is hardwired via a netgear powerline ethernet adapter, and the other adapter is upstairs on the main floor, from there I plug into my switch. Orbi, not matter how many times I unblock the device, will not let the linux box get to the outside world. Only if I turn off Access Control, then everything is fine? I use this Linux box in my woodworking shop, well, to watch youtube stuff, frustrating I can't do that now until I figure this out.
