allow connected devices only acl not working

I noticed that the ACL for this does not work properly.  I joined 3 new devices to the router.  After they were added, I locked down the ACL by not allowing any new devices.  After doing this, these three new devices that were allowed before were now blocked.

    I'm guessing that ACL = access control list.

     

    But heaven only know what "this" might be.

     

    If it is the R7800, then the best place to ask about it is probably in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk routers.

    It also helps to know the firmware version on the hardware. A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

        Seems OK here.

         

        What do you see in the two "drop down" lists?

         

        View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network

         

        View list of blocked devices not currently connected to the network
