RBR850 - Unable to access the router interface after enabling Access Control.
RBR850 AX600 - I found a device connected to my wifi today. I then enable Access Control and blocked the device using the web interface. A few minutes later, I'm not able to connect to the wifi rou...
I had the same issue (also running latest firmware), except I disabled access to a device from the iOS app. Once this happened I was unable to reconnect to the admin page, either via the orbilogin.com / 10.0.0.1 or via the iOS app.
To solve this I had to first unplug the devices that I disabled access to. I was then able to connect to the admin web page, I then went into ADVANCED—>Security—>Access Control and unchecked the box for “Turn on Access Control”.
This allowed me to reconnect the devices (i.e., power them back up) to the WiFi network, while still being able to use the admin.
TL;DR it seems that disabling devices is broken. Also, Netgear support had no clue about this issue.
Any progress on this?
