Orbi Access Control Not Working Properly (since FW update?)
Since I got my Orbi RBK50 (RBR50 router with RBS50 satellite) well over a year ago, I've been using Access Control set to "Block all new devices from connecting" until I specifically approve. Last w...
Did you update FW and then continue? You may need to factory reset and setup from scratch as we've seen some updates cuase problems on exhisting systems then a reset is performed and setup from scratch and seem to correct the bad behavior.
FURRYe38 , manually restoring this configution from scratch would be a terrible mess. From rebuidling acccess lists, properly naming devices, restoring address reservations -- it would take a long time to get things back to where they were -- all to test a hypothesis. If I could save, and subsequenly restore, settings, to the same end, that would be acceptible. Requiring me to start again from scratch would be the last straw between me and Netgear (they have failed me several other times, including on other devices, lately -- causing me to question their commitment to quality).
Do you know if it is possible to reload the same version of the OS/firmware (perhaps that would clean out some cobwebs)? Would factory reset followed by restoration from a recent (known to be working) configuration backup be the equivalnet?
Thank you.
