Thanks for the feedback and suggestion.
When we turned off access control a couple of weeks ago and applied the change. When I went back in yesterday it was turned on! Don't know why.

Went back in and allowed the devices and then turned off access control, however when saving the change it blocked everything again!!
Last night I allowed all devices, left access control on and saved the change. This moring, everything is blocked again....
When you pay good money for an Orbi system thinking you are buying some quality, this is very frustrating. Has worked for a couple of years with no problem and then bang!! I don't think you should have to do hard factory resets once it is set up.
Ready to smash it with a hammer.
