If you are using the TP-Link Omada Controller for your home or business network setup, you may be aware of its customization possibilities and features. The Omada Controller allows you to control all other TP-Link Omada devices from a single dashboard.
The options and controls provided by the Omada Controller are highly customizable. One such option is the ability to block any device within the network with a single click. You can easily block any connected device using the Omada Controller from either the desktop or the app.
If you temporarily block a device and try to unblock it after some time, you may find it difficult to do so from the Omada Controller. The difficulty mainly occurs when unblocking the device from the web portal. In this article, I will explain how to unblock devices from the Omada Controller.
How to Easily Unblock a Device Using the Omada Controller
As mentioned, if you are using the Omada Controller, whether the Omada Software Controller or the Omada Hardware Controller, you can easily block any connected device within the network with a single click. However, unblocking an already blocked device is difficult, especially from the web portal.

Step 2: Open the Omada Controller App and tap on the controller name.
Step 3: Once the controller page is loaded, tap on the Clients tab at the bottom of the screen if you are using an iPhone or iPad. On Android, the Clients tab is listed at the top.
Step 4: You can now see all the connected devices in your network. From the Clients section, tap on the Blocked tab.
Step 5: In the Blocked list, you can see all the blocked devices in your network. Each blocked device has an Unblock link.

Blocking and unblocking devices is easy when using the Omada Controller. However, using the Omada Controller’s web version to control and manage the network may make it difficult to unblock a blocked device.
