Access control not functioning
Hello everyone
i am having an issue with router the access control function. i have my access control set to block all new devices from connecting but every new device i add shows up on the allowed list but cannot connect until i add them to as a dhcp reservation. does anyone know if there is a fix for this.
on my old nighthawk the device would show up as blocked and i would have to allow it and then i could add it to my DHCP reservations

I have the same issue.
Access control used to work. After enabling and disabling "Smart Connect" because it broke everything, access control doesn't work any more.
Using latest firmware v1.0.4.120
