Just an FYI. I waited for my premium parental controls 30 trial to expire. Once it did, I was able to use Access Control again via the web client. I'm not sure why it's been so much trouble for everyone else. I hope resolution is coming soon.

You can see it. But it doesn’t actually work. It does not block new devices from joining and using the network. They will show up as blocked… but still be able to access the internet freely. The mere display of the access control page isnt the final resolution. It needs to actually work

radesix78 how's it going with L3 support on this issue? I noticed a new firmware 6.3.7.5, wondering if that fixes it.

Yesterday I explained the situation to Best Buy and they took the Orbi back.
Unfortunately I had to move on to other equipment. - BenjaminNYCDec 16, 2022ApprenticeMakes sense. What a shame their software and support is so bad. Hardware is so good.
