Access control (MAC filtering) not working same after unexpected update?
My netgear modem/router CG3000DV2 was updated at some point without my knowledge, and now has a new "genie" interface when logging in through a browser. It previously had the dark blue UI with buttons on the left side--now it has "genie" interface with more colorful UI. I did not initiate this update--it did it automatically somehow (or I was hacked?)
In the old interface I was able to set up a MAC address list to ONLY ALLOW devices that I selected (i.e. my own devices). Now it seems all I am able to do is BLOCK a specific device.
What happened? Is this feature no longer available?

Hello LML
This update was pushed by your ISP so it was suppose to do this and if you are having issues since this is a big update you may need to factory reset your modem and do the setup again.

hey there, thanks,
unfortunately I tried a factory reset: it did nothing
I contacted my ISP: they denied any involvement
