Unable to delete devices, Orbi RBR50
Its been about 2 years at least and I can't delete a device. I've looked and looked for a way to delete this and can't find a thing, which is why I'm here. Either I'm just blind as a bat or Netge...
It's just my opinion, but I think what you want cannot be done. This device knows the WiFi password. My guess is that the WiFi handshake takes place at such a low level in the networking stack that the connection cannot be prevented. All the router an do is note, "If a Blocked device connects, I'm not going to pass any data to/from it."
I haven't done anything yet. I'm praying there is something I'm missing so I don't have to reconnect everything. I have gone over the web page looking for any kind of remove or delete option. I have looked in basic and advanced for anything. I do really hope I'm just missing it somewhere.

I heard ya. I do really appreciate your time and help.
I would hope that Netgear would add this option. Being able to clean up and remove devices would be a nice thing to have.
God bless and have a great day 🙂
