MR70 does not lock out devices
I run a MR70 with two MS70 satellites and the connections is working well, so is access to the system via web-browser or app. But when I block a device that's on the network it displays as "blocked" ...
What devices are not being blocked after you selected Block in the NH app?
Any kind, iPhones, laptops, Apple TV... Everything seems to work but it just dosen't block the selected device. It's not linked to the random MAC address function on cellphones, it's all over the board.
Could be as Randomizers can cause blocking issues with the system.
Have you tried disabling the randomizer on a device, then also set up a IP address reservation on the MR router for the one device: https://kb.netgear.com/25722/How-do-I-reserve-an-IP-address-on-my-NETGEAR-router
then once set, try to block it again?
Are you using the NH app or the WEB UI on the MR to configure blocking?
Tried it, no change. :-(
Also tried blocking other devices such as TV, home security system etc. Same result, Nighthawk says it’s blocked but the device in question still has full internet access.
