I agree with you, I'm kinda liking that feature too, however, it's the wife that was complaining about the access. Guess she'll just have to learn how to unblock devices too. So given that my 13 year old quite often, has her friends from next door sleep over, just last night for example. They were not allowed on the guest network because they were blocked and I wasn't getting out of bed to unblock them. I don't mind giving them guest access, but when they leave, how do I know they are off the network, my my signal might actually reach the neighbors house.

Oh yes, I have a 2 year old girl so I don't have that issue yet.
I think it would be very helpful if they could allow the genie app to unblock devices so that we can have people like our wifes easily do this. No way my wife will login to the webpage and try to find this.
