[SOLVED] - Netgear Router R7800 - Access control


Issue:

Netgear Router R7800 (firmware version V1.0.2.62) with access control by default blocking access to new devices, is blocks access to new devices but when we allow access to newly blocked device, Router wont allow access and still blocks internet access to device.

Solution / Work around


1. Access "Access control" itself is a challenge as Router keeps asking for authentication. Solution is to navigate to "access control" page from Advanced --> Security --> Access Control. This wont prompt for authentication again




2. Once you connect a new device, it will be blocked by default. Currently allowing access though the "Allow" button doesn't help.



3. To connect the device follow below steps

  1. Turn off Wifi on new device. It disconnect the device from Router and moves the entry of the device to "View list of blocked devices not currently connected to the network"
  2. Copy the mac address of the new device and remove it from this list.
  3. Now go to "View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network" and click on Add Button 
  4. It will be giving an option to add device by MAC address. enter earlier copied MAC address and a device name. After adding, new device will have access 
  5. Turn on Wifi on the new device to have internet access :-) 


 If you need further clarification or found helpful, please let me know in comments.

Why Invest in Gold ?  Fiat currency we are holding is loosing its value at the rate of inflation. But before fiat currency, gold is the standard. Based on current technology, its difficult to extract gold. so in the demand vs supply equation, supply cant balloon like central banks printing money at their will. so i dont need to worry about Gold loosing its value over time. On Supply part, As per World Gold Council estimate 190,040 metric tones extracted and another 54000 metric can be extracted from ground. Refer :  https://www.gold.org/about-gold/gold-supply/gold-mining/how-much-gold On the Demand part, Below are the key drivers of Gold demand Source: Thomson Reuters GFMS, World Gold Council As an investment, From individu...
