To use Access Control, please use the Orbi App
This is what I see when trying to access Access Control. I strongly suspect it's because accidentally activated the trial of Smart Parental Controls. Even though I've turned it "off" in the app, it's...

Hello radesix78 ,
Thank you for your post!
I understand that you are having difficulties with disabling the SPC on your Orbi router.
When navigating to the following: Orbilogin.com> ADVANCED> Access Control.
Does it direct you to use your Orbi app?
Best,
Kevin

SPC was never active on this router. I took the original router back and got a new one. When I setup the new router I did not activate SPC
Let me repeat…
1) it was never active on the current router
2) I can see the Access Control GUI.
3) The Access Control functionality is set to block all new devices from joining the network
4) devices show up as blocked - but are not blocked
5) Pausing the device in the Orbi app also has no effect.
6) Access Control is not working
