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...
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.
I read here on the forum that at least one other person is reporting the same issue I am having. I can only do so much troubleshooting before I feel like I'm spending too much time on it. Either Netgear deals with it or they don't.
Understand the sentiment. In the 10 years I have had my Netgear system, I have enabled Access Control only when researching a question on the Forum. More trouble than it is worth.
However, I would really like to look at one of those screen captures that you provided to Netgear. A Private Message to my Forum account would take only a few minutes. I promise, "pinky swear", not to let anyone see it.
