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.Can not create a static route to single IP (Orbi 2.0.0.74)
When adding a static route to a single IP it is not applied. I'm trying to block access to certain IP's by adding static routes and directing them to the local interface on the Orbi. I enter the IP, Subnet 255.255.255.255, Gateway 10.0.0.1 and Metric 2. I press apply but it does not. Does not show up in the list of static routes. (10.0.0.1 is the Orbi's internal IP) If I enter the same IP and a 24bit subnet (255.255.255.0). Press apply and it is applied and saved. Shows up in the list of static routes.
