RAX42 Access Control

So, after enabling Parental Controls I'm no longer able to change Access Control settings from the router's menu. Specifically, per the documentation:

"Block all new devices from connecting." is not available, as the only message displayed when clicking "Access Control" is "To use Access Control, please use the Nighthwak App." (sic). 

Unless I'm missing something the limited settings in the app do not include the ability to set this or several other functions. There also doesn't appear to be any way to dump Parental Controls and regain normal control of the router.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sadly, a factory reset is the only solution. Poor implementation of features.

Re: RAX42 Access Control

So after disabling the parental controls you still can not access these settings? If so you might want to try a factory reset of the router.
