unable to add Trusted Device
Unable to add Trusted Device. Other than MAC filtering section in manual, can find no means to add a Trusted Device. Followed manual instructions numerous times (10+) to add MAC address in MAC filt...
thank you DarrenM for PopUp idea. Allowed Netgear in Chrome and Internet Explorer. Followed page 36 instructions in Manual. Same failure to not register MAC address in Trusted section after clicking Apply. Can find no other instructions to add MAC addresses to Trusted device list. Exasperating. hime
N450 continues to not activate or allow addition of new device MAC Address to Trusted Device.
I am unable do discover what might be preventing this task.
Any helpful ideas will be most appreciated.
thanks

Finally able to connect tablet and show it in Trusted Devices ONLY by specifying a time to block – midnight to 1 AM Sunday.
1– when tablet is OFF, the tablet does not appear in Trusted Devices list.
2– when tablet is ON, and appears in Trusted list, unable to eliminate blocking time.Daughter’s Kindle setup in Mac Filtering Trusted Devices long ago appears in the Trusted list when the Kindle is not present at this location (same as not turned on).
The “WORKAROUND” to setup the tablet in Trusted Devices list will not install the device as Trusted without any blocking time specified.
Why?Therefore, still unable to discover how to specify a new device in the Trusted list.
Does Netgear tech support monitor the forum?
Others seem to encounter this issue, but no resolution posted that I can find.
HELP will be much appreciated
