Cannot Access Network Resources After Enabling Access Control

I have recently activated Access Control and allowlisted every device onto my network using a Nighthawk RAX54v2 with Firmware Version V1.1.4.28_2.1.26. Every device on the network can access the Internet, but I cannot ping devices, SSH into remote machines, or access network printers.

 

I'm not sure what I need to do allow devices on my network to communicate with one another.

Does disabling Access Controls bring back access to resources?

Re: Cannot Access Network Resources After Enabling Access Control

I can disable Access Control and it appears everything becomes reachable immediately.  Turning it back on reverts back to blocking everything.

 

I would like to leave the MAC address allowlisting enabled and still use network printers and so forth.  There must be someway to do that... right?

Re: Cannot Access Network Resources After Enabling Access Control

 So it seems that I can now ping / access network resources with access control turned on.  I have not updated the router and I don't believe it auto-updates (?), nor have I manually changed any settings.

 

Something changed and I'm not sure where to check to see the change.  Anyone have suggestions?
