connected no internet problem solved!.. HTH

When adding a new computer to the list of allowed devices it will connect with no internet until you go back to the admin page (with another computer of course) and unblock the device...  It will show as a connected device and 'blocked'..  So you have to unblock it.

 

To me this seems to be a software bug as I the documentation clearly states that you must check the 'block new devices' box to enable a whitelist.

 

My setup is with a whitelist and no ssid broadcast.

 

Sorry no pics..  Just figured it out, but could easily be re-created.

 

Spent many hours looking for connected no internet resolution then stumbled on this myself... HTH  bet it does..
