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" ...

Blocking with the web administration or with the Netgear 'app'?
And, for certain, these devices operate normally? i.e. they can open web sites, do email, run apps, etc.?

Surf, watch streaming, chat... you name it, the device is set to blocked using the app (the web GUI dosen't have that feature, it says to use the app). I use the word "block" but it's that little pause button in the top right corner of the device screen in the app. At first I thought it was all fine but after getting suspicious I experimented trying it on other connected devices. All the same, they show as blocked/paused in the app but in reality they work fine.
