Orbi RBR40 is blocking my Macbook air

My Macbook air has recently been blocked by my orbi RBR40 router.  I am receiving a message every time I try to connect to the internet that says  this device is blocked by access control in the router.  Does anyone know how to unblock my computer.  All of my other devices are working fine.  How do I get to access control to unblock?

    The most obvious method is to disable Access Control in the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, Security Menu... Access Control.
