Welcome to the community! :)
One of the known issues of the WAX610 Firmware v9.5.2.5 states below:
- MAC ACL does not work as expected when MAC Randomization is enabled for the wireless clients. Workaround: Disable MAC Randomization on the clients.
As reference, kindly read the release notes of the WAX610 Firmware v9.5.2.5 here.

That makes sense even before upgrade to firmware, MAC radomization is not set on any of my devices connecting to wifi. I'm still waiting for IPV6 passthrough so clients can properly use but in this case it seems if MAC ACL is checked it disables ability to connect for any device as if the MAC ACL is corrupt. Have reset device, reverted back to old firmware "of course it automatically upgrades back to new" after adding to cloud.

Hi ThomasRogers
We found some known issues during firmware upgrade/reboot case. We are fixing it soon and provide beta firmware. Would you please like to try and provide your feedback? ETA to share the firmware is mostly end of next week.
Thanks,
Ragh

No thanks, it is bad enough using default firmware much less "BETA" non tested software. I got it resolved by resetting several times but I have noticed on this new firmware changed that their is no explanation in documentation anywhere. Under the WAX610 Advanced settings there is Vlan Management Settings which shows VLAN1 but under it it autmatically adds a vlan with VLAN1 management again "untagged port"?? What does this configuration mean? Also when under each VLAN with mac authentication settings where is the information on exactly how to add devices correctly for devices connecting to each vlan? I've noticed each vlan sets router MAC to something different on each vlan subnet, so for each VLAN created we must manually add BR200, switch, AP etc plus whatever other devices?? If so then one must scan each network VLAN to see what MAC address is different given for BR200 etc because on my vlan for cell networks the BR200 mac address changes last two characters. Just can't find any information online from documentation on anything much than basic add vlan, it will route through vlan1 management,,,,basics. I attached screenshots.
