Cant add a new MAC address to router

I have AC1200 wifi router, model R6220. version V1.1.0.114_1.0.1.

Recently, I cant see the active list of all the connected devices in the router.

Because of this I cant add a new device to my access list.

Sporadicly, I do get a display of the active list of devices but it is enough to add and delete

devices into or from the router.

Should I downgrade to a previous version to fix this? is this a known bug?

Thank you.

    Puzzled!!!

    My intentions are to keep any unknown devices from getting in. By having a list 

    of allowed devices defined within the router, I determine who can get in.

    What am I missing?

     

    I appreciate your solution to this problem.

    However, I have to do some errands, so if you reply now I wont be able to chat 

    with you more, until later.

     

    thank you again.

    Where are you looking?

     

    Mobile Nighthawk app or the browser graphical user interface (GUI)?

      I am logged into the router via its IP address.

      It is a netgear AC1200 wifi router, model R6220. version V1.1.0.114_1.0.1.

      I am looking under the tab Advanced/Security/Access Control.

      This is where usually the active list of the connected devices would be displayed.

      Thanks

        I am adding a photo of the current router's display without the active list

        of connected devices.

        Normally that would be diplayed just above the line that reads as follows:

        "View list of allowed devices not currently connected .........."
