So once again: I have a router R6220 Firmware version: V1.1.0.114_1.0.1. As I enter the access control section, this device shows that this mode is disabled, but in the status and physically is enabled the former. Secondly, this mode can not be turned off or on again, after pressing Apply nothing changes the application does not respond. Thirdly, and most importantly, I can't set permissions for new wifi devices.

Where is this "access control section". Are you referring to something on the Nighthawk app on your mobile device?
Start by explaining what you are trying to do?
Are you trying to manage how wifi devices connect to your router?
Secondly, this mode can not be turned off or on again, after pressing Apply nothing changes the application does not respond.
Which "mode" is this?
Where are you doing this? Where is this Apply button?
Again, is this in an app? In the browser graphical user interface (GUI)?
Thirdly, and most importantly, I can't set permissions for new wifi devices.
Where are you doing this?(See above.)
What permissions are you trying to set?
You did not tell us what modem you have. It might be important.

I want to set wifi access permissions from the GUI. I could always do this by assigning for a given MAC whether it has access rights or not, for some time it has not been possible. On the left side of the menu in advanced mode is the menu item security, access. I attached a screen.

That screenshot shows what to do.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual Allow or Block Access to Your Network- RomanPSep 20, 2023Aspirant
but I know how to manage access to devices through MAC but this option has stopped working, although it is enabled now signals that it is disabled, as it wants to turn on and confirm does not work, so I can not set which MAC addresses have permissions

the access control section is in the router's control panel via a browser?? I just need it to start working because it is currently turned on and I cannot grant access to new devices or change anything in it, even turn it off. The router model is at the same top of the article?? connection with the screen image? Ask the same questions all the time. The topic is simple in the router's GUI is a menu item that connects devices for devices to Wi-Fi, not dealing with the modem but with the Wi-Fi router.
