But surely something we have to see otherwise the screenshots are useless.


I can tell you where MAC addresses do and do not match. The only thing a picture is going to do is give away sensitive information.

If you post a bug report then it is actually also part of it to provide comprehensible information.


The only thing I have disagreed with is giving the world a look at my MAC addresses.

Well, MAC filtering works for me as it should - I tested it briefly earlier.


It hasn't worked for me except in the absence of other security settings or on my old firmware in over a year.

I can't understand your described problem - this will be because you didn't post any usable settings and because I have another router - I don't know.


I posted a screenshots of all my settings. Please read the thread.

But since you apparently do not want to cooperate - well, I also have other things to do.


I've cooperated with everything that isn't completely asinine or a security risk. All and all I've been more patient with all of this than I should be.

By the way, not all digits of the MAC address are individual, the first 6 digits are usually the manufacturer code (OUI Organizationally unique identifier).
Millions of devices have this code *yawn


If they're no big deal, then that's just another reason you don't need to see them.

General rule of thumb: use the settings that work with all clients.


When I tested, I only had the minimal amount of settings changed. The screenshots and description of the settings were also posted every time. In summation, basic DNS settings + Radio config (5ghz only with SSID off) + WEP(2/2SHA/3) and AES + mac filtering. That's it. I have tried this on multiple firmware versions over the past couple years. The last stable version I have gotten to work with all these settings is 36247. This is all in the thread.

Well, you can mix the settings.
WPA3 has a transition mode (WPA3+WPA2) according to the spec.
But this is a relatively pointless setting.


I only ever use 1 at a time unless you count my current as is configuration with newer firmware. I am now using AES on the 5ghs and not on 2.4ghz. I had 2.4 off while testing.

Use WPA2 Personal, not the ancient and obsolete WEP. Then secure with CCMP-128 (AES).

I haven't followed this thread, so this is a "drive-by" comment. Apologies, but figured this was worth a note.

I sometimes mix up my acronyms. I use WPA. Thought this whole ordeal over the past couple of days, you wouldn't believe how hard I had to work to keep AES and SHA in the right places.

Yeah, we're all in that club. Good to hear this was not the issue anyway.
