Hi,
I understand that there are higher end business models that are AP only, that have the feature. In this day and age there are many people who have homes or live in apartment complexes, where they don't need Business & Enterprise level equipment. They usually have
• More features.
• Many of those advanced features are NOT needed in a home or apartment
• Many of those are also to complicated for a home or apartment user.
• Higher prices.
• Many times require annual licensing which continue to cost the consumer/Prosumer.
Being able to whitelist your equipment in your home or apartment seems like a necessary thing for security these days. Being able to have a friend who comes over frequently, and enable his access in the whitelist, and disable it when he leaves, seems reasonable for security in a home or apartment as well.
I think instead of telling me that simple features are only in business models to advanced for everyday users, you should put those simpler features like Access Control Lists into the products for the Home & Apartment users.
Also, the RS700 DOES have ACL, but ONLY in Router Mode. So you gave it the feature and then lobotomized it so it doesn't work in AP Mode. The feature is there. Just make it work in AP mode. That is more of a bug fix than a NEW feature request.
Then if we wish to talk about the PR60X, it is a Business unit, and should have the feature.
Please put the fixes and additions on the firmware upgrades list.
Thank you for your interest. Have a great Christmas Season and a Good New Year.
Sincerely,

Hi,
I am not familiar with how to use these communities yet. I am not sure how to find specific community threads or lists, or how to "elevate" a message to a link as you mention. Do I just copy it to the link you sent, or is there a specific way to do what you mention?
