MAC Filtering - Can't manually add MAC to WiFi Control List

Hello... I have an XB7. I'm attempting to use MAC filtering and manually add a MAC address to the WiFi Control List. Under Manually-Added Wi-Fi Devices, I'm able to enter the Device Name and MAC Adress, and I click the ADD button. The MAC address then correctly shows up under the Wi-Fi Control List(up to 64 items). However, when I click the SAVE FILTER SETTING button, the page refreshes, and the Wi-Fi Control List(up to 64 items) is now empty. I am not able to save my changes.

Does anyone know of a workaround, or is there known issue and/or fix in an upcoming firmware release?

Thank you.

this was working then it stopped. in 5ghz network it does not save any changes. i exit then back in and will get "mac address already exist" message but I can't see old entries.

That sounds like you're having a little better luck than me. I simply can't save any entries. I can add them over and over but they are never saved.

Did anyone find a fix for this?

We haven't made any changes in months. I logged in today to add a new device, and this popup prevents me from saving any changes. I've tried different browsers with no luck. Never encountered an issue like this before.
