Nighthawk

Setting device to no Wi-Fi access does not stay set. When I select that setting for a device and check it the next day the status changed to allow access.

What Netgear device are we talking about here? There are dozens of "Nighthawks".

What do you mean by "no Wi-Fi access"? You turned off the wifi? Blocking a device? Something else?

Start by explaining what you want to achieve and someone might come up with an idea.

App 2.4.24.1
Firmware 1.0.9.88
In the app I want to temporarily block Wi-Fi access using the nighthawk app. I set the device to no access and check the app the next day and the status reversed itself thus allowing Wi-Fi access.

  Block access to what? An attached device of some sort?
