I have been using the Wireless Card Asscess List for the longest time and went in last night to add two devices to my allow list by MAC address. Could not find the thing, finally opened the manual and realised that I was not loosing my mind, some how the setup is changed and the list option does not show anymore? I do not know why or how this happened, what has changed which has lead to this change? I am refering to what is listed in the user manual at page 60 and 61 for AC1750 model C6300. At this point I can not grant access to any new deivce on my network.

ali99asghar thanks for writing on the community. what Firmware are you on? who is your ISP? can you please go to Advanced (tab)>security> access control and see if your devices are listed out there? you may need to re-enable and allow/deny access to the devices.

Sorry forgot to mention that only devices listed there are the one already running. I am trying to ADD new devices, they don't show there. If I try to connect the device hoping that it will show up here and I can ALLOW it, it does not. I get a password rejection on the device. Also I am running 2.4GHz and 5GHz, I allow dedicated devices on one but not both and the Advanced (tab)>security> access control does not give you the option to sort accordlingly.

sorry, dont understand your use-case here. what are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks for taking the time with this. I have had "Wireless Card Access List" setup running since I got the router in late October 2014 and it has been running great without any issues. Under "ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings" I had "Turn Access Control On" checked for both gateway radio's (2.4 GHz and 5GHz) with "Allow List" selected and this is where I had my respective MAC adress listed for each radios. I no longer see this option anymore. Goal being: For increased security, allow only specific wireless computers and devices to access the wireless network based on their MAC addresses.
