The New Fios Quantum Router MAC Access List does not work with iphone 6 Plus and Amazon Kindle Fire.

I have managed to add laptops and DropCams without any problem.  I always add the MAC address to BOTH 2.4 and 5 Ghz AND select "accept all device in list".   SSID broadcast are enabled in both bands.

Of couse, everything works when the MAC access list is disabled.

Prior to the new router, my old Fios Advanced Router worked perfectly with all my MAC Access Control devices.  So I have experienced to use MAC Access Control.

Is there anyone experience the same problem?

Be strongly advised: There is a (or are) problem(s) to be aware of.

#1 MAC Address(es) are always sent in clear regarless if the type of encryption.

#2 Since it is possible to spoof/clone a MAC Address on a router (for example as shown at http://ui.linksys.com/files/E4200/2.0.25/wanmac.html ) it is also possible to spoof/clone the MAC Address on a computer.

#3 If someone does not know how to spoof/clone the MAC Address on their computer if you do not use wireless encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2) to protect your wireless network, that someone can still see your traffic.
