How do i connect an allowed device showing on the access control page as not currently connected.
I connected my new Orbi RBR50 system with two satellites yesterday. I have been to the Access Control page and turned on Access Control. There are 13 wired devices "Allowed," but in the list under...
Thanks, DarrenM. I tried that several times. Any other ideas?
Hi Anklejive,
From what I’ve experienced myself with this problem on other Netgear routers, you have to first delete the device from the “allowed but not connected” list before you can add it as an allowed device. The MAC address of the device you’re trying to add is probably one of the “unknown” devices on the list and therefore already attached. Try deleting all the “unknown” devices on the allowed list and then try to add your devices again, you should be able to connect without any errors.
Good luck
