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" ...
I would try from scratch. Whenever I've had an issue with firmware, its usually in the backup as well.
I'd keep with the latest and see if it works. If it doesn't, you can always downgrade and see if it was a firmware issue or just a setting not carrying over correctly
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.
You're on the newest firmware. Maybe something changed in firmware. You could always try a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue
Thanks. I'll try a factory reset next. Do you think it would be ok to restore settings from a backup or should I reconfigure it from scratch. Should I also continue to use the latest firmware or downgrade?

It matters a great deal if your modem is a combination device that is also attempting to perform routing functions on your LAN. Yours is a plain modem, so no issue.
