Block new devices from connecting
I had asked this before and wanted to check if anything had changed before I put my RBR50's on Facebook Marketplace for sale. Running Firmware version V2.7.2.104 Paying for parental controls ...
On the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, Security Menu, Access Control there is an option to "Block all new devices from connecting".
(see attached image)
Is this what you want?
And, you do realize that this means ANY new device, including when the Baby Sitter comes over (or GrandMa) and wants to use WiFi.
See attached file for what I see. and yes understand thats what will happen.

Bugger. By chance would Disney Circle (or the newer Netgear Parental Controls) have been activated on this Orbi? ( I have never activated Armor or Circle and am thus blissfully ignorant of what might happen.) This looks suspiciously like the Orbi has been told, "don't bother your pretty head over Access Control any more. The user wants to use (some feature on the "app")".
"I got nuttin."
I turned parental controls on, but that was because there were no blocking options otherwise.
Are you on the latest firmware?
