Can we please get a firmware update to correct the stupid access control list to show IP address of blacklisted devices?

 

Currently, when a device is blacklisted, its IP information is removed and only the name and mac address is shown but the name often shows up as "unknown" and so you have to ARP ALL the devices in your network to get the mac/IP relationship to know what is being blocked!

 

The IP is listed when the device is in the unblocked list right above it. Why is this pertinent piece of info removed when its blacklisted??? DUH!

 

The current solution is to unblock the device so it goes back into the online list which magically reveals its IP, and then it becomes much easier to see what device got blocked. But if you didn't write down the mac address before you unblocked it, your device gets lost in the list of 450 online devices and so you have to reblock it, write the mac down, unblock it again, hunt for the mac in the list and then correlate its IP.

 

Please display the same information on BOTH lists.

 

Thanks.

@bluscarab The reason why the router does not show a IP in the black list is that the router only cares what the MAC address is. The IP of the device can change either via DHCP or statically assigned, the MAC will not. 

 

If you notice the name change after black listed, you should be able to select the modify option on the black listed device, and change the name to what it should be based off its MAC address.
