Re: How to unblock device? Not appearing in device list.

I had the a similar problem, and the standard solutions offered did not help.  What happened is that the ORBI RBR50, on its own, decided to put the ROKU stick as a blocked device and anything I did would not unblock it except turn off access control completely.

What is it in ORBI that decides a device needs to be blocked, or is the ROKU stick doing something that ORBI finds offensive?

It might be useful to have some additional information, such as:

 

  • When the Roku is turned off, can it be removed from the Access Control bottom table:
    "View list of blocked devices not currently connected to the network" ?
    (scroll down the page to bring up this table)
  • Is Bitdefender Armor enabled on this system?
  • I have had the Orbi 'app' "Pause" devices when I did not intend to. (clumsy fingers).

(sorry not to be more knowledgeable about Access Control.  after reading so many complaints, I just disabled it.  If someone can guess my 20 character password, they are welcome to share whatever access they can get to my WiFi.  If I see a van from MIssion Impossible parked outside, I'm "toast" no matter what I do.)
