[Solved] | This device is blocked by Access Control in the router. | [Nevermind]

I accidentally locked myself by denying all newer devices from accessing the router with that little checkbox in the webinterface. 

 

I have tried:

 

- hard reset few times

- 30+30+30 seconds reset option

- upload TFTP image (succeeded once) but it appears router is still not reset to factory.

 

After all things done above, i can still browse to the same custom ip address configured and it shows me the blackscreen with red stripess: "This device is blocked by Access Control in the router."

    Oh - nevermind. Two days ago i tried to fix the problem in three hours and pulling my hear out.

     

    I just reset the router now again after powerdown for 30 hours or so, and now i'm able to access Netgear local website again and i see that the device is back to factory default. 

     

    Thanks resolved.
