Wifi Extender with Netgear router using Access Control List

[toftof]

Hi,

I use with newly bought extender with our familly Netgear router. i love our router with the opendns parental control

I use Access Control List in the router and it works well for all devices.

I have registered the 3 MacAddresses from the extender with it and it used to work well. 

I have upgrade recently the firmware of the extender and not matter what I try the Wifi wont connect to the router unless I disable the ACL.

I used MacAddresses for a long time and I have double checked multiple time that I entered the right ones.

I am very disapointed as I need the extender on the other side of the house and I bought an Netgear one in order to ensure easy compatibility with the router.

Any suggestions/ideas welcome

Thanks

thank you. Unfortunately I tried first, but the purchase was more than 90 days again and I dont have access to support anymore

things were working well with it up until I unplugged it 3 weeks ago and also updated the firmware
