RN312 6.2.0 SMB Sharing access with Hosts List

I am using an RN312 on a PC network with Guest shares allowing anonymous access via SMB. One of the shares is used for a home business - so I restricted access to PCs and printers in the business by having a hosts list of allowed IPs. This has worked fine until a 6.2.0 upgrade today that did not allow anyone access to the share - access was denied or it asked for a username and password but as none are set up this did not work.

I tried 6.2.1 but his made no difference. Eventually I cleared the hosts list and now anybody can get to the share. Is this some deliberate change to behaviour with this upgrade - or a bug?

Try calling support and show them the issue during a Teamviewer session, they can escalate the case as a bug if required. What you're describing should work but it's hard to say without seeing it in action.
