Hi. Using Merlin 386.2_6 on Asus RT-AC86U and just purchased a Linksys extender. I've got MAC filtering enabled on both bands with several devices on each band without issue. However, the MAC filtering is working inverted for the Linksys extender. If I set the Linksys' MAC address to ACCEPT, it is rejected. If I set to REJECT the MAC addresses in my list, all devices are rejected, but the Linksys connects. Tried reboots, adding/re-adding, etc. Any idea why? THANKS!!
 
Are you using the correct "upstream" MAC addresses?

Colin, you nailed it! Thank you so much! I looked at the MAC address in the DEVICE INFO page. Duh. So now the Linksys extender connects without issue but it doesn't show in my Asus's client list. My printer also no longer shows since a recent update. I believe Merlin mentioned this is normal due to some regulations, etc. I thank you very much!
