ORBI

I have the new Orbi (RBK850) and have almost 60 devices on my network; mix of wired and wireless.  I have one particular device for which I want to block from accessing the (external) Internet. Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks!

    I don't believe Orbi offers disabling of internet access per device. You can block the device from connect to the Orbi system using access controls.

    Yes you can do that using access control. See attached snapshot from the Orbi app.

    Hi,

     

    I have model RBR750 wifi 6 Orbi (drop down above for model won't let me add my correct model name) and tho my access control panel states that I have blocked the device I want blocked, it still has full access to the internet.

     

    Thoughts?

      Changing the device name and icon is a known issue in the latest firmware.
      For access, try to disable access control (the main access control, not the device-specific) and then enable it again and see if that helps.
