Devices appear on blocked list
Starting this afternoon, several devices have begun to appear on my Access List as being blocked.
I am able to take them off, but there does not seem to be a rhyme or reason for it and I do not see any notifications/logs on this behavior.
How can I tell why these appeared?

What devices are these?
What NG product are you using?
Not much to go on here.
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-App/NETGEAR-Mobile-Applications-and-Apple-Devices-FAQ/td-p/2220015/jump-to/first-unread-messageApologies, it didn’t keep the product. This is the NG WIFI 7 Mesh RBE971.
Devices don’t matter. I had my work laptop (HP/Windows), iPhone, iPad, DirecTV Stream device and a couple smart plugs, plus a couple more.
I haven’t updated/changed anything with access control since I set the device up earlier this year.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
