iPad gets locked out of network

My daughter has an iPad 10 which is allowed onto my network. Every time she charges or updates the iPad, the network blocks the connection. When I log into the network I can see where the device shows BLOCKED. I have done everything I know to enable the device, and once I have enabled connection, things work fine for about a week, until she charges the device, or there is an update pushed.

 

Is this an issue with my NetGear Nighthawk, or is this an Apple issue? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

 

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

  • I should also note I have an iPad 10 as well, and I have never had an issue! The only device which gets locked out of the network is hers.

      Do you have MAC layer access control enabled?  Or perhaps parental controls?
