It does sound like a issue with the wifi if you have factory reset the unit and still getting that issue? also have you tried a different SSID when doing the factory reset?

When I go to turn Access Control back on to allowed devices (Advanced>Advanced Setup>Wireless>) I get "Turn access control on with empty access list does not work with WPS. WPS will be inaccessible. Do you want to continue?"
I don't know what that means. We never got that message before. Advice?
Hello NGearUser
If you do not use WPS then you should be fine in clicking continue.
