It doesn't make sense. I would have thought that the reset would purge any screwed up settings. But yes, I resetup my wifi so my mom could use zoom. And she has access now, but my PC is still blocked, and trying to get to the access control page in the router settings is still impossible. It's as if the router itself cant find the access control page, but it has somehow saved that my PC needs to be blocked (along with my dad's phone, both satilites, and my brother's PS4). But dad's laptop, mom's PC, and all of our other phones remain unaffected.
