Access Control randomly blocking approved devices on V2.2.1.210
RBR50
After upgrading to the V2.2.1.210 router firmware, i'm finding that devices that have approved MacID addresses and have been previosly on the network for months are suddenly being blocked in...
I would try setting up IP addresses for the satelites and controlled devices and see.
Same exact problem firmware version V2.2.1.210. Access Control on to automatically block new devices. Two new phones this Christmas added to the network immediately blocked (as they should have been). Tried through the app and directly through the web interface to allow both devices. They both are allowed for a second, then go back to blocked automatically. Previous users said a temporary fix is to turn off access control. For me this doesn't work, even with it off they stay blocked. The only way I can get them on the network is to keep access control turned on and select the option to automatically allow all new devices. Ugh. Cmon Netgear, it's not like we all purchased a $20 router here. This is a 'premium' system, it's time to start functioning like one.
