Client and SSID Filtering

[ASF34]

     So ever since the new update I have an issue with filtering. The SSID filtering has no effect. My tetra only seems to respond well to client (MAC) filtering. This kind of sucks because it means I need the MAC address of every person that I want to connect to my open network. I would like my house guests to be able to hop right into the network without having to give their MAC address. The Tetra works properly when I add or remove/ allow and deny clients (MAC) but if I clear the client list and only use the SSID filter, nothing works in any combination. Is there a particular rule in filtering that I am missing?  like is it required to use both client and SSID filtering? Is there another way to have an open network without acquiring device info beforehand? I want people to just join in which would work if I could just use SSID filter. 

 

Safari Version 11.1.2 (13605.3.8) Also I am aware that it is advised to use Chrome or Firefox and using Safari has worked perfectly right out of the box so I've disregarded that detail.
