RBR 750 access control blockeed all devices
I logged in to my router via desktop computer and accidentally turned on Access Control and blocked all my devices from the router. I cannot login to router page to allow access. I am using my guest wifi network to try to discover a work around.
I can access the Orbi app on my phone but can't find any place to get to Access Control.
Help.
Can you connect a different PC or laptop that has never connected to the RBR and see if you can get in that way?
Or if you can access the RBRs web page thru the phone in a phone web browser, log in then try to disable AC there...If all fails, you'll need to factory reset and setup from scratch.

Thank you for replying to my query. I ended up having to factory reset the router. I had no problems, and so far so good. 🙂
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
