Logs flooded with access control device allowed
Hello
So I've been randomly checking my logs and the last few days all I see is:
"[access control] device blah with mac blah is allowed on the network" every single minute or less for the same device over and over. It's when I'm usieng my phone mostly and my computer to a lesser extent. It wasn't like that before. I didn't change anything so I don't know if this is just a harmless bug or something is wrong since I don't notice any problems with my internet.
Anyone know about this?

The latest.
Have you turned on Access Control?
Maybe the router is just logging this activity.
Both of these are easily tested by checking their status on the browser graphical user interface (GUI). The manual tells you where to look.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the manual for "Logs" and "Access Control".yes access control is on and I'm pretty sure I've always had it on and haven't touched any setting in a long time. That's why I'm wondering why it started logging every 40-70 seconds now. It makes it annoying to scroll through to see anything.
