RS300 MAC Address Filtering
I purchased this router around a year ago and the MAC filtering has never worked correctly. Devices continue to show up as being both allowed and CONNECTED to the router and allowed and NOT CONNECTE...
I purchased this router around a year ago
The most recent firmware for the RS300 was released June 1, 2026 (more recent than "a year ago")

I would very much like to see a screen capture showing a device with the same exact hardware MAC address appearing to be connected and not connected at the same time.
My mistake then. Nevertheless, the issue still remains. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps Netgear support asked me to and have sent multiple screenshots of the MAC addresses appearing in both the "Connected" and "Not Connected" screens.
So, the RS300 is running firmware v1.2.7.2, correct?
I realize there is some paranoia about posting "sensitive" information, but it would be really helpful to see a screen capture showing the same hardware MAC address being 'connected' and 'not connected' at the same time.
I've done that, sent to Netgear, probably twice. Yes, the RS300 is running v1.2.7.2
I've shut off Access Control for now, it's weak security anyway and it's a hassle.
