R6700v2 Cannot Turn On Access Control

I'm running outer Firmware Version V1.2.0.92_1.0.1 (latest) on my R6700v2 and I cannot turn on access control. I select "Security" then "Access Control" and check the box to "Turn on Access Control" and "Allow all new devices to connect" -

 

Then I Click "Apply" and I get the following error - 

 

 

I've tried restoring a backup configuration, re-flashing the current firmware and downgrading the firmware all to no avail.

      What is the brand name and model number of the modem/ONT that is connected to the internet upstream of your R6700v2?

        My cable modem is a Motorola MB742. I don't understand why that would matter, but I'm open to any thoughts on how to resolve this issue.

      did you try a different browser? 

      What speeds do you pay for? we usually don't recommend Access control if you have speeds >250mbps as it can slow it down on the r6700

        My Internet speed is 300 Mbps Internet Service. I tried both Edge and Chrome, and they both behave the same way.
