Orbi Access Control Firmware 1.3.0.12
I just updated my Orbi Router and Satellite to the latest firmware, 1.3.0.12. I'm using Access Control to limit access to the network. I have a Tivo Mini hooked up to the ethernet port of the satellite, and it was connected and allowed to network access before the firmware update. Now when I enter access control, the Tivo Mini shows as "blocked", and even if I select the device and click "allow", it stays blocked. That's the first issue. The second issue is that it's not actually blocked (nor do I want it to be). It's able to connect to the network and access the internet just fine. I tried to block and unblock it and it didn't work. Not sure what the issue could be except a firmware bug.Oribi Need FW update to block internet access without killing Network access
Currently, if I pause the Internet for a device through the NETGEAR Genine it makes that select device unavailable to my local area network. I would like to request a firmware feature to block specific devices from going outside the local area network. I have many devices on my LAN that do not need Internet access, but still need to function on my LAN as a network device. Have WAN access should be a ON/OFF option for a device in the phone App, as well as the browser interface.
