NVG599 - Disable WPS to enable Mac Filtering
Hello,
I tried to enable Mac filtering but was notified that I had to disable WPS. First off, I have been unable to find the manual for model nvg599 ( did find one for nvg598 )
There isn't a feature I have found to disable WPS? I found some bit that said WPS was a component of WPS-PSK.
Does anyone know how I can disable WPS on the Arris nvg599 so I can institiute mac filtering?
Thanks!

@hjohnso2 Did you see this 589 Manual
Page 64 shows the wireless page that has on/off for WPS, should be using WPA2-PSK(AES) w/a long password. Mac filtering is the next covered thing below the wireless page. 😉

I have seen it but that option is not present ( sadly ) in the 599 as it is shown in the 589 manual. I have a feeling this could be a 'command line' option to turn it on and off but I am not certain or how to access the command line dialog?
Thank you for the reply!

@hjohnso2 Is there any wireless page in the 599 Gui? If so, should be something about WPS and Mac Filtering.
Looked online too, thought I found a 599 manual, but shure looked just like 589 at manuals.lib.

I found and disabled the WPS on the Home SSID, but I still get the error msg when I attempt to blacklist MAC addresses through filtering - "You must disable WPS on an SSID in order to use MAC address filtering on that SSID."
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I don't see any option for disabling WPS. Would someone kindly be very, very specific about how to do this? The manual page doesn't help me. I am obviously not tech savvy. All I know is that Mac Filtering worked for years and then suddenly stopped working, and nothing I try is working either. Thanks for any help to locate the "disable WPS" option.
