Yes, that's why I unblocked it. Still failed to connect after several tries. Resetting Apple TV and trying to connect to guest network got the thing online. Previously, it had failed to connect to guest network, too. So at least I'm online, but guest network is not optimal as the remote app from phones requires all on same network.

I had used the Netgear app to turn off access to the internet to the Apple TV so kids wouldn't watch it instead of doing schoolwork while I was at work. Then I forgot, and wife couldn't watch tv, so she restarted apple TV and it just said, "cannot join network". I went to web-based config pages for router and saw it was on list of "blocked devices not currently on network". I took it off that list, but still no luck.
Did you try reconnecting the TV after you unblocked it? If that still doesn't work, then the ultimate solution might be to reset the router and set it up from scratch.
