Unable to remove 1 entry from wirless MAC filter list

[fuzzydingo]

Hello, new poster here.

I have a RT-AC87 and have been running the Merlin firmware for the past year. Currently I'm on 380.62b1.

The problem I'm having is that in my wireless MAC filter list I have an old entry from a device I no longer have and I can not delete this entry from the list. In my MAC filter list I have 14 entries for 13 devices I use and 1 I don't. The device I no longer use is still listed in the filter list after multiple (MULTIPLE!) attempts to remove it by clicking on the the minus ( - ) symbol to the right of the entry. After applying the change, the device still shows up. Reboots don't change this, neither do firmware updates. This device has been in my MAC filter list for over a year, I have switched between a few ASUS OEM firmwares and Merlin firmwares during this time yet I can never seem to remove this MAC address.

Is there another way via Putty to edit the MAC filter list directly? I'm wondering if it's somehow corrupt.

Thanks!

Issue the command nvram get macfilter_rulelist and see if it's in there. I run an older firmware so the variable might be different. If you see the mac you're trying to remove in there, I'd edit that out. Or just do an nvram unset macfilter_rulelist to nuke it and start fresh. Make sure to nvram commit if you make any changes. If you need more help let me know.
