MAC address filtering issue on Archer AX73.
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello.
I bought new great wifi router - Archer AX73. But I have an issue with MAC address filtering (white list).
I did a simple test:
- enable MAC address filtering with white list option and add few devices to white list (devices which use wifi and cable),
- restart router, and after restart the only cable devices can connect to my network, all wifi devices are blocked.
The "solution" is: disable MAC address filtering and restart router again, but it is not acceptable solution.
Also adding new MAC address to the existed white list gives no effect. After add new device, restart is required with disabled MAC filtering, and then enable it again.
Kindly want to ask you - do you have similar problems with Archer AX73 router? I believe it is firmware issue, but not sure...
Regards,
Maciej

I have found solution/workaround. Changed language from polish to english o router settings and now everything works fine :) In few cases, I had to remove and add again device to whitelist after change language. But now, all looks ok.
@STN Could you check and confirm at your end? I saw, you don't use eng. lang....

I switched to English. Did not help. After rebooting the router, wireless clients still cannot connect.

Wireless Settings:
Guest Network: Disabled
Wireless Schedule: Disabled
WPS: Disabled
Additional Settings:
And my sequence in which I changed language:
1. Access Control: Disabled, Language: Polish - my previous settings.
2. Change Language to English, Access Control still disabled, reboot router.
3. Enable Access Control with Whitelist, reboot router.
4. And everything works fine :) In some wifi devices, I need to remove them and add again to Whitelist and reconnect device to WiFi. But now, after next few reboots all is ok.

Few days ago, I did factory reset on my router, because I had some additional problems. Before reset, backed up of course my configuration, and restored after reset. Unfortunatelly nothing changed and did factory reset again and configured router manually.
So, maybe you should also do factory reset and never change default language :) Maybe you should try this, it is last chance I think...

I did a lot of experiments with factory reset. The result is negative .... Language does not matter...
