@Anonymous those are not the screens we need. As @Dan_the_Van posted earlier, you need to go to the Advanced settings and then Access control.

So any device with  Screenshot 2024-06-23 143232.png icon is in paused state, I can see three devices Alcatel and two android

In a paused state you will not have access to the internet but I would expect you can connect to local device, using remote desktop and view IP camera via your local LAN.

@Anonymous yes that is the one. That just shows the default group as expected.

However as @Dan_the_Van said , the earlier screendumps shows Paused devices ?

There are two interpretations of 'connected'. As I understand it, the PC is connected to the hub, but the PC cannot access the Internet.

If this is correct then the PC should show on the hub Home/My devices a.k.a My network tab. Is it missing from this page and again from the Advanced settings/My network page?

Re: my wifi is rejecting certain PC's

Sorry I can only show whats displayed. should there be somewhere that shows blocked devises? I know the IP address of the not connecting computer but cant find on either list I would have thought it should show somewhere then I could unblock/unpause it. technically I'm quite good I was a RF design engineer for over 40 years, yes I admit my network knowledge is skecthy

If you go to the Home/My devices psge as per your earlier post you should be able to scroll down the list of connected devices to see if the errant PC is there. You have 17 wireless devices listed and only shown us 5 of them.

Re: my wifi is rejecting certain PC's

I can assure you that more than 5 are in use and on. I've looked through the list whilst the PC is on but it doesn't show. is there any way to change the MAC of the pc's connection?
