Access Control and VPN Issues on CBR750
Clear bug in Orbi firmware (V4.6.14.4_2.3.12) connected to Access Control feature. If you keep Access Control set to "Block all new devices from connecting," you can allow new devices manually, but you have to restart the Orbi for it to take effect. What's worse, if you also utilize VPN, new devices are blocked, which is good, but it causes the Orbi to freak out and continually restart on its own, until you turn off Access Control, connect the new VPN device, turn Access Control back on, AND restart...I know this isn't an enterprise level router, but come on...that's ridiculous even for a home router.
