Access Control
I have the access control feature turned on and set to block all new devices. I have been using this feature for a while and have all the regular household items, labeled and in the allow list. Lately, as I have tried to enter some new items, a smart plug and firestick, I am getting new behavior. They show up in the list as blocked, good so far. But then I cannot edit their label or change them to allowed. The only way I can get around this is to change the router to allow all new devices. I have updated the router, I have reset the power to the router. But every time I switch back to not allow, those items show up blocked and with their 'default' label. I would really like to go back and be able to enable the block new devices feature but I can't until I find a fix for this issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.
