AX6000 no way to do access control via IP range?

2019-12-10 00:58:14

Model: Archer AX6000

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I just purchased an AX6000 Router and I do not see in the V1 manual any way to do access control via a IP address ranges, only individual devices. If that is true, it is basically useless to me. My Frontier Communications FIOS supplied router it is replacing even has this function, and I use it to limit what IP ranges have internet web access or not.

@Gumly

Each manufacture handles Access Control differently. For TP-Link and the AX6000 Access Control is done via a devices MAC address. IP address flitering is inefficent due to DHCP and IP leased addresses changing. By basing it off the MAC ID regardless of IP a device will either be allowed access or not based on the rule set.

@Carl it's really confused! I have A7 and it've worked fine when block/unbock with access control feature. I recently purchased the AX6000 and with the latest fw. However, the feature is there in ios block/unblock devices was not worked. If it is not a part of the feature then just remove it! Yeah i'm lost
