Blockall new devices - also Guest Network?
I block all new devices, because I have no security PW, I allow only definded MAC Adresses.
As it looks, also the guests with a PW could not access to the Network.
Have anybody the same situation?

What NG product and model # are you referring too?
IF a router, have you looked at the access controls on the routers web page?
Guest Network devices can't be controlled.
NG doesn't have controls that are defined by MAC addresses.
The Orbi router Access Control feature has an option to allow or block "new devices". i.e. devices that do not appear in the LAN setup table.
It could be that Guest devices have to be in the LAN setup table if the setting is to Block all new devices.
