ORBI RBR850 Access control blocks all devices when a new device is added.
Hi I have an Orbi RBR850 (Firmware V4.6.14.3, which says it's the latest) and the access control is "acting up". I used to have access control enabled such that any new devices authorised by me would...
My guess is that you have taken some action which enabled Access Control without realizing that it was happening.
I had this happen a couple of times when I was playing with the Orbi 'app' in response to a question posed on the forum.

If Access Control is disabled and you touch nothing (not the web interface, not the Orbi app) and it gets enabled, then I would say there is a problem.
