Orbi RBR50
Is there a way delete multiple devices from the device manager? I rent my property and have a guest network. Every time I have a renter all of their devices get added. The app only allows me to delete one device at a time. Is this what I have to do? One at a time. If I do nothing and just ignore the list, does the device list grow to infinity without any impact on the performance of those devices that are active? It takes quite a bit of time every time I look at the list to delete these devices. Imagine renting to 10 people, and each of them have a smart phone, computer or iPad, watch?

Despite numerous reboots, my Orbi kept a record of every device that had ever been connected. I had 36 active devices, and 124 devices total. In the web interface, almost 90 devices were in the Access Control table: "Allowed devices that are not currently connecfed". With the web interface, it is quick to delete any that no longer apply. In the "app", it is one-at-a-time. (ugh)
A Factory Reset, of course, wipes out EVERYTHING. For a rental property, this might not be so bad. Hold the reset button down for 10 seconds and everything goes back to the credentials printed on the labe.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

- I have access control enabled and when I use the web interface, I can see unconnected devices that were connected in the past on the access control screen. You can check/select multiple devices and delete them from there.
That's great news thanks. I'm assuming I need to login to my Netgear account. Can you tell me the steps I need to take to do this?
