Try using v32 FW and see.
Do you have IP address reservations for the devices your trying to block? Try this as well.

Be sure to try to set IP address reservations for your devices. then try to block them.

Thanks for the link to the FW update. Not sure why when check for updates through the app it says there are none available.
I'm a novice here...can you explain what you mean by setting IP reservations? what exactly is that and how do you do that?
