Other question regarding the available functionalities :
Is there a reason why we can't enable mac address filtering when in AP mode ? This is available only if I use Orbi as a router (not AP).
My ISP router allows the mac address filtering but only on its own WiFi network, so mine is disabled because I use Orbi now.

MAC Filtering is a ROUTER function, and since the Orbi is in AP mode, most of the ROUTER functions are disabled.

Ok that's what I thought, but by the past I had a Cisco Aironet access point, there was a security section were I had added some mac addresses, there were stored locally in the AP, that's why I wondered if that would be possible in Orbi products
