Hi Home Networking subreddit. I set up a kids' profile on my modem/router to block social media and set internet bedtimes for my kids’ devices. I added their devices to the router settings, but they figured out how to change their MAC addresses, IP addresses, and device names to reconnect to the WiFi. This lets them bypass the kids' profile and get full internet access. Even if I block one of their devices, they just rejoin using a new MAC and IP address. I could change the WiFi password, but that would disconnect everyone, including my wife. I’m using a TP Link BE24000 and a BE9300 mesh extender (wired). Does anyone have advice on how to stop my kids from getting around the kids' profiles?
