Access control
FW V1.0.0.130
I noticed this a while back now have enough detail to review.
When I turned on Access control on the device it had never seemed to worked everything except wired devices would be blocked. As soon as i turned it on even though it was set to allow all the devices - all the devices would disappear.
Recently I added some additional devices . But first i wanted to make sure their placement would have a good signal. I used the NETGEAR WiFi Analytics app and I had 100% for the intended placement of every device. there are now 19 active devices with audio devices on 5G and the rest on 2.4G.
I started getting strange disconnects on the network. Thinking it might be neighbors or pedestrians I thought to try and figure out what i was doing wrong with access control. This time when I turned it on wired device and 5G devices stays in the allowed list but all the 2.4G devices disappeared and were block.
(Although I dont use the guest networks they are turned on - I am going to turn them off and see if it solves my other issue)
What am I missing?
John
