The post you are replying to is more than 4 years old.

If you can explain your problem in more detail, someone may be able to offer advice.

I tried that but still it's not working, what do I do ?

There is an unblock button. Log into the router app, open the conne ts devices, at the top theres all, online, offline and blocked. 

Shame I've removed the block and it still wont reconnect. 

Posting this here to save someone else loads of time. Just spent hour with online chat to resolve and now have a very happy son.

I blocked his mobile using the Wifi app on my phone - all easy to do. But could I find anywhere to unblock it?

Here's how without a reboot of router.

Log onto our wifi router via laptop. Instructions can be found on this forum, i wont go into that.

Change the drop down from Basic to Expert Mode, box on top right.

Click on Wifi tab and then choose MAC Filters from menu on right.

All devices that are blocked should now be seen - delete the one that you want to unblock.

Make sure you click apply at the bottom of the page.

 

Go back to the device and try to log back into the Wifi - you may need to put the password in.

 

I cant see an unblock button on my iPhone.

 

I blocked my laptop 🫠, now it doesn't want to unblock it 😬

Factory reset. While the router is powered up press the recessed "Reset" button at the back for a good 10 seconds.
