Model: Archer C64

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I'm confused! Got new WiFi router for home, have renamed various clients to identify the person/device connected - all fine. I keep blocking a client (iPhone) to stop someone in house using WiFi (long story), Mysteriously a new device with a different ip address appears. This keeps happening, so that I now have 6 clients blocked but the person still seems to be able to use the internet.

Anyone able to enlighten me, please?!

Thanks

@FluffyLoris

That could be due to the random (private) MAC feature of mobiles.

If that's the case, check this article to see how you can mitigate this behavior.
