Cannot unblock site using admin tool
Hi,
I blocked some sites using the security/block sites feature in the admin tool however the sites remain blocked after I removed them from the keyword list. I was able to do this in the past. I rebooted my router and satellite and forgot/reconnected to my wifi and cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

(disclaimer: I use this feature only when attempting to understand posts on the forum. On my "older Orbi", the feature blocks only attempts to connect to unencrypted web sites (http) and ignores encrypted sites (https), and is thus practically useless these days not that 99% of the internet is encrypted.)
I verified today that removing an entry from the table does not take effect until the "Apply" button at the top of the screen is pressed. If I went to another menu page and came back, the entry was still there. Can you please verify that after removing an entry, Apply was selected and that leaving the page and returning shows the entry actually deleted?
