Nighthawk X4 R7500v2 Access Control does not work
Frustrating behavior with my device, router firmware version V1.0.3.10 I cannot block a device that is using my network. Advanced>Security>Access Control the checkbox next to Turn On Access Control is checked. I go to the list of the devices that are currently connected, indicating "Allowed" under the status. I click the checkbox next to any of them (for example, an iPad my cousin is addicted to). I then click the "Block" button. I get a popup that asks: "Do you really want to block access to selected device(s)?" I select OK. Screen refreshes, nothing happens; the device still says Allowed! I've rebooted the device twice, no luck! Anybody else have this issue?Solved4.2KViews0likes5CommentsVPN controlling access
I have just got a R7000 router and i am wanting to use the openVPN on it. My main worry is security as it just seems to generate one set of files with no user name or password support for each user. I was wondering, if I use "Configuring Access Control on Nighthawk Wi-Fi Router" to allow only known MAC addresses to access my network, would that also be true when using the VPN, such that if the MAC address was not in the "access control table" it would'nt allow VPN access even although the user had the files. Its just that if anyone ever got access to the files i would have to turn off the VPN feature as they are same files. So I'm hoping that this will be a possible solution to my dilema, using "Access control" features. Hope it makes sense and someone has come across this problem before.Solved3.9KViews0likes3Comments
