Wireless devices Do not have internet service but show as connected to Orbi RBR50
My Orbi RBR50 (v2.7.4.24) appears to be functioning properly but none of my wireless devices have an internet connection. I can see all the devices in the connected devices list. I have reset everyt...
I do have Access Control enabled and all devices are allowed.
Smart Parental Control is not enabled.
Thanks for the firmware update link. I will apply those.
Today my router decided to show its hand. In Access Control, the devices had been showing 'Allowed'. Today a number of devices are showing 'Blocked'. I am unable to change them to 'Allowed'. I have turned Access Control off. Why has my router decided to lose its mind? I'll do a search first but looks like I will need to start a new thread.
My experience has been that the tables in Access Control can be edited only when Access Control is enabled. When Access Control is not enabled, the user cannot change anything in:
- Currently Attached Devices (Blocked to Allowed)
- Allowed Devices that are not currently attached (remove from the table completely)
- Block Devices that are not currently attached (remove from table completely)
People who have Apple devices often find the "not attached" tables clogged with pseudo MAC addresses that Apple devices created and will never use again.
So, I "enable", do my edits, then "un-enable" and hit Apply. (Then come back and double check that Access Control is not enabled.)
