For - Nighthawk AX4: RAX35

 

Having same issue.

When trying to change Access Control (Security > Access Control) radio button to "Block all new devices from connecting" and attempting to click the "Apply" button to enable this change it will not save which basically makes the function unavailable.

 

I can see that "Allow all new devices to connect" is the recommended default but I've always been able to use this option on prior models.

 

Was hoping this would be resolved by now. I have also had my router since around the middle of December 2019.

 

Please advise.
