JoeGantic Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I am having trouble with the device manager "block" function. When I block a device it gets blocked just fine and has no internet connection and shows as black in the device manager. However, when I unblock the device it doesn't actually unblock. It shows as unblocked and returns to red from black but still has no internet connection. Restarting the device doesn't even fix it. Only after rebooting the router does the internet connection return and the device is unblocked. Any suggestions? Thanks, Joegantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 2, 2020 That is very strange. Have you tested it with other devices to see if it is device specific or not? What device/web browser are you using to block/unblock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGantic Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 The original problem was with a Roku streaming box that is hardwired. I did test blocking my phone on the 2.4 wifi and that worked fine so it may be device specific. I used a Windows 10 laptop and Chrome browser to do the blocking and unblocking. I can do a little more testing later today to see if I can reproduce it. JoeGantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 2, 2020 Give it a reserved/static IP in Settings, then attempt to block/unblock it and see if it works correctly then. Also do you have that device going through the VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
