Hi StrangerPings (great name by the way!), can you be more specific on what you mean by the Wireless Card Access List please? There is no feature like that on the interface that I am aware of.
In terms of the Geo-Filter I have a hot fix firmware I can send you that should resolve the issue.

settings, advanced settings, advanced wireless, at the bottom left is the Wireless Card Access List to the right you click Setup Access List to enable devices. Basically the MAC address filtering section. It allows me to enter everything and enable it. I can log out and then relogin and it is still there enabled and shows all the MAC's and devices. On reboot it dumps everything.
- Netduma-FraserFeb 21, 2018NetDuma PartnerGreat thanks for the clarification. I have also managed to reproduce this. I will let the Development team know immediately. Sorry for the inconvinience.
Please check your PM I have sent you the hot fix for the Geo-Filter.- StrangerPingsFeb 21, 2018Tutor
Just to add some more info for you. I was on the phone with Netgear before you replied. At first they were unable to duplicate it. They were adding devices to the MAC filter that were already connected to their network. On reboot they lost no info. Once I explained I was manually adding them he tried it and duplicated it dumping everything on reboot. So now that both Netgear and NetDuma have it duplicated I look forward to fix soon. It's hard enough trying to keep networks secure now without worrying about the MAC filter cutting out. Thanks for the rapid response and the Geo fix.
