GL-ATX1800 Not Retaining Allow List

[chimpx]

I’ve been implementing an Allow List for my devices under Clients successfully for months. A problem with the GLiNet iOS app led me to check my web configuration and so I noticed that my Allow List was disappeared. I thought “hack” at first but after a search, I came across this post…

Allowlist on GL-ATX1800 (Slate AX)

Hi, I've just noticed that MAC address filtering for the “Allowlist” section doesn't work on the GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX). I connect my devices to the router with the MAC address of each device to prevent anyone from connecting. So I set up a list that I configure and apply on the router, but this list has disappeared when I reconnect again to the interface. I think this has been a bug since at least the last release, as it used to work perfectly. Tried to reset and re-configured, always the …

and so it seems to be a bug in the 1800 Flint 1 firmware? And no fix listed?

So I upgraded from firmware 4.6.8 to beta 4.8.2 firmware but the same problem persists even after rebooting the router.

I really count on the Allow List to add a layer of protection against close proximity actors in my area.

What is the fix for this problem?

Resetting my router seems to have fixed it.
