Nighthawk X4 R7500v2 Access Control does not work
Frustrating behavior with my device, router firmware version V1.0.3.10
I cannot block a device that is using my network.
Advanced>Security>Access Control
the checkbox next to Turn On Access Control is checked.
I go to the list of the devices that are currently connected, indicating "Allowed" under the status. I click the checkbox next to any of them (for example, an iPad my cousin is addicted to). I then click the "Block" button.
I get a popup that asks:
"Do you really want to block access to selected device(s)?"
I select OK.
Screen refreshes, nothing happens; the device still says Allowed!
I've rebooted the device twice, no luck!
Anybody else have this issue?
Hi motorbikematt,
Try to reset the router to factory default and manually reconfigure the device.

Hi motorbikematt,
I tried to replicate your concern but I was not able to reproduce the same behavior. Mine works fine.
- Thank you for trying to replicate!! That is interesting data, even if it isn't a solution.
Tell me, when did you buy yours? Is it 'younger' than mine?I have the same router and the same issue. I can't block an intruder in my network. I bought my router in Dec 2015.
