Netgear EX2700 blocking one device from accessing extender
Hello!
I need to block a child's device from using this extender after hours. I am able to block it from our main router, but the device seems to be connecting to the network through the router and I was hoping I could access parental controls through the EX2700 to block just this one device. So far all I have been able to find is a way to block ALL devices at certain times, but there is only just one device I need to block - the rest of the family needs to be able to access the wifi signal through the EX2700. Any suggestions?

Block the EX2700 translated virtual MAC address for the wireless client or device you have in mind.
This is explained in the fine manual https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX2700/EX2700_UM_15July2014.pdf p.31
Select Maintenance > Network Devices.
The Network Devices screen displays the MAC addresses and virtual MAC addresses for computers and devices that are connected to the extender network.
