There is an issue with the access control settings automatically turning itself on or off and blocking devices that have previously been allowed on the network.
I have not been able to definitively pinpoint every instance when this occurs, but if there is an outage or anything that restarts the Netgear device, then I will receive a 'connected without internet' message when trying to connect with my mobile, 1 or 2 echo dots, or occasionally my laptop.
When I first realized what was occurring, I cleared the checkbox in access control to "allow" everything to connect.
To no avail, a restart, or an update will turn that setting back on. When it does, previously allowed devices are now blocked and I have to go into the router and allow the same 2-3 each time. It's always 1 paritcular echo dot, my mobile, and either my work laptop, home laptop, or printer.
No other settings are being updated that I can determine.
I did update settings in the device today and rebooted it (this also causes it to occur) and when I did, my cell phone that was just connected to the network would not.
