All internet settings on router vanished after I changed the SSID password.
As stated above, additionally, my main PC, now plugged into LAN on router, reads as 'Device is blocked by Access Control in the router'. Other PC will connect wirelessly, and the internet settings ...
"Where do you see this message?"
The message 'Device Blocked in Access Control,' appears when I enter router management settings at 192.168.1.1, using browser.
"As to the subject 'All internet settings on router vanished', where are you looking?"
In the router management section titled "Internet Setup"
No, I have not reset the router using factory settings.
This view of the empty occurs when I attempt to re-enter the prior known configurations in Advanced> Internet Setup.
There it asks for Internet IP address, DNS Address, and Router MAC Address.
The Modem is from Charter Spectrum: D3.1 2.5G eMTA
Model: ES2251
You have asked for the Gateway info.
Not seeing how it would be safe to place that in an open forum.
Thank you for parsing out my inquiry.

If the router will not allow access, there is no opportunity to make any changes. Although a Factory Reset is often thought of as a Last Resort (because it erases any configurations the user may have done - in my case about two hours of typo-ridden entries), this seems to the situation here.
I would Factory Reset this unit and start from scratch.
- Well, the odd thing is, it will connect, qnd allow access to router through the additional SSID , which connects at 2.4GHz, but will not allow the settings to 'stick,' as it were.
So, basically, I am operating the PC which will connect without any info on the Subnet and other items visible to me in the settings,, and without being able to unblock the ip address of the other device.
Can't even think about a total reset, as it makes my sromach curl.
Thanks

Often the best option.
By the way, the R6220 is an ancient (2016), bottom of the range device with less than startling wifi capabilities.
