V2.7.3.22

Cisco EPC3928AD
Note that the problem is solved by rebooting RBR20 or turning off/on the access control feature. So I think the issue is in the Netgear applicance.

The router might have received automated updates, so probably not. But this problem has been there since first use of the access control feature.
I'll try that and report in a few weeks.
Thanks
