RS600 Shows false negative (Blocked) Devices
For years we have had a network that comprises of a gateway on the ground floor and an Access Point on the 3rd level that connected to the ground floor by cable - we control the access to the Interne...
@ Shumaku and @ Stephenb, I am well versed in using ACL:
1.ACL, at least as Netgear devices are concerned denies access to the Internet, not to the router(s)
2. All the devices which have MAC randomisation, which are all of them, except one or two, have their MAC randomisation disabled.
That said, I will check out the one Windows 11 that plays up to see how the network is defined, albeit it has MAC randomisation turned off by default.

No. See page 54 here:

You can use the network access control list (ACL) on the router to block or allow access
to your network and the Internet. The ACL identifies a WiFi or wired device by its MAC
address. The router detects the MAC addresses of the devices on the network and either
allows or denies access.Parental controls can be used to manage internet access of connected devices. But the basic ACL either allows or blocks access to the network itself.
I see that this thread is marked as solved
Sometimes other users will do that. No idea who in your case, but someone reversed it, since there is no solution marked now.

With great respect Stephen, I have a big problem on my hand and I am not interested in debating semantics.
In practice owners of blocked device see their devices as connected (t a router) with a note: "No Internet";
this is what I ment in my comment.
Also under the top list of all ( connected devices) , allowed and blocked there are two tables headed:
View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network and
View list of blocked devices not currently connected to the network
Although the top list does not have a name, by sheer deduction one can conclude the top list it must
a list of all devices that are connected... to what?
This was my point.
Now can we back and try to solve my problem?
