“The device is blocked by access control in the router” trying to connect with ios 11. 2.6

[R_hernan]

When trying to connect with a new iPhone 8 I receive this msg. I was able to connect with my previous iPhone 6 . All other existing devices (phones, Xbox, direct tv, laptop) are connected just fine. Only having issue connecting with my newly purchase iPhone 8. I have not been able to connect as of yet.

Hi R_hernan,

Check the router if Access control is enabled. If yes, try disabling it.
