MR70 does not lock out devices
I run a MR70 with two MS70 satellites and the connections is working well, so is access to the system via web-browser or app. But when I block a device that's on the network it displays as "blocked" but the device isn't blocked. It's consistent, what type of device or if it's 2.4/ 5 or LAN -connected doesn't matter, neither does waiting, rebooting, FW updates etc. Any ideas short of switching system? Controlling what's on the network is a key feature.I can confirm that this is still an issue with the MS70 versions of the Nighthawk
This is an old topic though I can confirm that this is still an issue with the MS70 versions of the Nighthawk. Thankfully I found this thread as my satellites kept randomly disconnecting and my Echo Dots would not combine for whole home sound saying they were not on the same network. Taking the advice of, Gamerack I raced home from work as my wife was having issues with calls dropping and works from home, so these drops are not acceptable. I went into Advanced setting on my router and then LAN settings, found each of the satellites, set DHCP to end at 1.100, then set each satellite to a static IP with a reservation above 1.100. I also did a scan of the wifi signals and channels and did some testing finally settling on 5ghz channel 108 as stable and available. I then did reservations with a number of devices around the home, and also set my PCs NIC, which is directly connected to one satellite, to 2.5GB Full Duplex instead of auto negotiate, and received much better speeds. I ran my game all night and was no longer disconnecting. My wife will be working throughout the day with a number of meetings.MR70 or Nighthawk app issues
Hi, I do have MR70 mesh satellite router. When I try to connect new device like Laptop it connects but shows as WiFi "No Internet, Secured" same with one apple cellphone it never connected to wifi. Rest all other devices in the Home were connected and working good. May I know why my devices are getting blocked ..Is there any troubleshoot steps to resolve the issue. Thanks Karthik
