How to add a mac address access control

I am a bit confused here. I see that there is the access control page, but I can not figure out how to add a new iPad? Rachael

It does not connect in any way. Yes, I have the correct password.

Actually, my router has dual bands and two SSIDs: Netgear 50 (2.4 GHZ band) & Netgear 50-5G (5 GHZ band). All my other devices connect to Netgear 50-5G, but not to Netgear 50. I created two separate passwords for two SSIDs. The printer can only find the Netgear 50-5G (5G) band, not the Netgear 50 (2.4G) band. Please advise.

uperez No wireless devices can see the Netgear 50? Tried changing channel? Make sure SSID broadcast is enabled.

If you still can't see the SSID, verify if you have the latest firmware installed then reset after firmware upgrade.

See if it will do the same thing.
