XR500's Wireless Card Access List will not save. Empties on every reboot.

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.
Great 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.

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.
No sooner than 10 seconds after my last post the Netgear tech called me back to verify my serial number and he also said that their try where it stayed he forgot to click turn access control on. He played with it some more and it only held the MAC address on reboot when he did not turn access control on. When he turned it on and rebooted it dumped. Hope that helps even more. Thanks again.
- Great thanks a lot for the update & extra information. Glad there is a workaround for now. We will co-ordinate with Netgear regarding this issue.
