Till I updated to the latest firmware V2.7.2.104, everything was OK with using ACL. Now, randomly ACL will stop all internet access (errors like certificate cannot be trusted, etc). The 1st time, I turned off ACL, removed all the devices and brought them back in 1 by 1 and everything seemed to be OK. I figured it was a one-off. Then it happened again, and again, and again. Now I've figured a workaround. Turn ACL OFF, Apply, and then Turn ACL ON again. But this cannot be a sustaining situation. What is Netgear gonna do about this?

Thanks. Will try that. ShreeMoorthy wrote:ACL - Access Control List. Where you can specifically allow or block devices.Typical process: you provide folks the SSID and password. Once they connect, you need to go into the router portal 19.2.168.1.0 or whatever... and then "Allow" the device to connect. Essentially this is a 2 step authentication.You can access the ACL from 2 places:1. Advanced --> Security --> Access Control2. Basic --> Home --> Attached Devices --> Click on "Go to Access Control to allow or block devices" on the top-right side Hope that helps / SM plemans wrote:ACL? not sure what specifically you're referencing.

Or you can downgrade the firmware a version.

Will try that as the last resort, I suppose. Thanks. FURRYe38 wrote:Perform a full factory reset on both router and satellite(s) then set up from scratch.

  ACL - Access Control List. Where you can specifically allow or block devices.
  Typical process: you provide folks the SSID and password. Once they connect, you need to go into the router portal 19.2.168.1.0 or whatever... and then "Allow" the device to connect. Essentially this is a 2 step authentication.
  You can access the ACL from 2 places:
  1. Advanced --> Security --> Access Control
  2. Basic --> Home --> Attached Devices --> Click on "Go to Access Control to allow or block devices" on the top-right side
  
  Hope that helps / SM

    Fully realize what the access control is.
    Just wasn't sure what exactly you were abbreviating. Always safe to check. 👍

  Why does your response not mention V2.7.2.104?

    Let us know how it goes. Be sure to disable Traffic Meter after the factory reset. Just don't enable it.
