To use Access Control, please use the Orbi App.
Updated to latest firmware and now this is the message I get when trying to enter Access Control. I want to block all new devices from joining my network automatically. Is this no longer possible??? ...

Agree! immensely annoying and a major bug! Get this solved ASAP. You pay a lot for your router at the very least you should be able to control it..
When coping the linkt to "Access Control" https://192.168.0.1/DEV_control.htm it briefly shows the access contron page, before redirecting to the annoying "To use Access Control, please use the Orbi App." Which also doesnt work!
Using the Orbi App and clicking Security im forwared to store.bitdefender.com...

This discussion is near on six months old. (Things may have moved on since then.) It might help to refresh memories with some details of your devices.
For a start, which device are you using? The same RBR50 as jaydigga?

No Device Manager?
What are you trying to do?
