Block Client?

[rljames]

Page 24 of User Manual reads;

> 3. To block a client’s access to your network, select the client and click block.

Can't seem to find this feature?

I also cannot seem to use this feature, wondering if it is affected by using DHCP reservation.

I generally have about 10 connected clients, none are "DHCP Reserved"... And only 1 or 2 have static IPs assigned at the device.

Also, I've upgraded to firmware .354 beta.

"Client Block" feature is still an issue.

Has anyone who has been through several versions of AC66 firmware actually seen/used this feature in a prior release?

I've submitted this question to ASUS Technical Support early in April and as of this writing they are "still investigating" the problem... (Preliminary response from ASUS below)

was googling around for this exact issue and was also unable to find it in my newly updated ac66u. I suspect this option was available at some point but was since removed??

i found another post ( http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/forums/showthread.php?p=106806 ) that links to a youtube video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4hjANBCm8I ) that shows an option to block clients in white text at the bottom of the client list, but it is not there in my client list

i also don't have any minus sign inside a circle to the right of the client as Asus support mentioned in the post above me

so... what gives?? anyone have any insight?

i am doing this because i have a VOIP box that sometimes "loses" connection and causes the phone not to work. In my old router i would just go into the admin panel, block the ip address of the VOIP box from the network, disconnect the box, unblock the access, reconnect the box and the phone would work.. but i am unable to find anything like this for the asus ac66u

i am hesitant of downloading old firmware and flashing them to find one that works (i assume one that is from before late 2012 will work since thats when the youtube video was uploaded) but would like to bring this up to other peoples attention as well (although i know this probably isnt much of a concern to most people as people wouldn't be block a LAN client as much... other than parental controls... and would be blocking WIFI clients more - which can be accomplished by MAC filtering)

Can't block clients.

I have also read in the manual that you can block clients, but can't figure out how to do it. I follow the directions but block client isn't available. I have an AC68R. Anyone else have any luck with this?
