WAC 510 - Clients Connect to Local Wifi But Not To Internet
I have been learning as I go with my two new WAC 510. At first I was using the Management Mode PC-Local Browser, with multiple SSID and was trying to use ACL, first by typing the allowed MAC and the...
I solved the problem. The WAC510s are wired to an R8000 X6 router. The router has an access list. To reach the internet or probably anything else on the router, the client device needs to be in the router ACL. Since I am transitioning slowly from the router to the WAPs, I need to maintain both systems. Thanks for your help.
Hi,
Welcome to Netgear Community.
Can you please share client details(model name, os version?), router(where dhcp is running) and distance from WAC510 AP you are trying? These details might help us to recreate the issue in our lab.
Also please try below experiments to see if issue disappears.
- Check if clients are getting IP address after connection(If no IP, you may need to check dhcp server).
- Try moving little closer to AP and see if issue still exists?
Thanks.

- Prelim answer. Devices received IP. 8 feet from WAP. IPhone 7 11.1.2. Laptop Win 7. Router R8000 up to date.
- Is it possible the whack 510 retain the ACL settings from before the transition to the app?
No, all the configuration including ACL settings would be lost when you move to Insight mode.
