RBS50 issues with Firware V2.7.3.22 - Firmware incorrect
I have had an RBR50 +1 RBS50 satelite that had been working nearly flawlessly for some time,,,,until Firware V2.7.2.104. Devices being blocked from the internet when connected to the satelite, like ...
Wonder if or when they will ever fix the access control problem with it spontaneously blocking devices which has carried through numerous firmware revisions now.
Hi Lyth,
Are there any specific devices that is affected by the access control problem you mentioned?
Sorry, you may have mentioned it in another thread that I haven't read.

We use access control set to block all new devices to keep the kids from changing their MAC addresses to bypass the Circle parental controls. There have been a number of firmwares over the past year, year and a half, that it will work as expected for a while then start switching a device here and there from allowed to blocked. You can unblock them but the problem then starts getting worse to the point ALL devices no matter what they are become blocked. You can switch them back to allowed in the app but it will change back to blocked quickly. It's completely unusable. I've posted in a few threads over time where other people have experienced the same thing. I'm hesitant to try any firmware at this point because it is working without access control on and I had an automatic firmware update pushed last fall or winter that bricked my router. There was no recovering it whatsoever with any method and I had to purchase a used one off Amazon.
