vrai1024, you can use the website to unblock your son's iPad. I manage my MAC addresses as well and have had to use the website to make adjustments and it works fine. The UI is a bit different so make sure you are making the change and saving. It works every time for me.
It would be nice to have the app working as I get tired of going to my office to make fixes when it can be easily done from the phone but that is where we are at.

Same issue! Can't log in to the app. How can I unblock devices from the website? I'm not seeing that option. Thank you!

If you have SPC or Access controls enabled, If you don't see access controls on the routers web page, then you'll need to factory reset and Orbi system and setup from scratch using a PC/Laptop and a web browser: https://kb.netgear.com/22697/How-do-I-install-my-NETGEAR-router-using-the-router-web-interface

Can setup using same SSID names and passwords so your devices will reconnect.
Don't use Orbi app for now.

AmandaDawn00, Go to http://www.orbilogin.com (sometimes this doesn't work for me so I go to 192.168.1.1. Login there and go to ADVANCED then SECURITY then ACCESS CONTROL and you can block or unblock there (if you are using ACCESS Control).
