Allowed device not working

So earlier today my computer was connected to the internet and it was working perfectly fine, my dad thought accidently blocked the device, and when he unblocked it, the internet didn't work at all. It works with ethernet, but my dad doesn't want a 50-foot wire coming from the hallway to my bedroom.

 

I went to 192.168.1.1 in my web browser and checked the access control, and my computer is not blocked.

 

We had this issue before and tech support was unable to fix the issue.

 

We're using firmware version V1.2.0.92_1.0.1

    What router model do you have? 

    Try powering OFF the router for 30 seconds then back ON. 

    IF that doesn't fix it, then a factory reset and setup from scratch maybe needed.
