How to remove registered clients from clients list
How do I remove old registered clients from the router (an internal table with device names/MAC addresses)? When creating a parental control, I get an enormous list of devices that aren't in the network any longer, on many pages. I want to rescan the network and eliminate those entries. How do I do that without a factory reset?
I don't mean removing devices from a parental control, I mean removing the decice registrations from the router internal tables so they don't appear as an option when creating a parental control.

I came to the realization this isn't going to be fixed so I shifted to a whitelist, instead of a blacklist, it's a pain to setup, but once you get it going, and when new people/devices need to be added but, all parental controls work and MAC spoofing doesn't work. When it's a whitelist, everything is blocked by default and you have to allow the devices to connect, a blacklist allows everything and you have to block what you don't want to connect. If you want a smart phone (droid or Apple) to connect, you need to turn off MAC spoofing in the device for your home network.

@Whammamoosha Same issue here with AX50. I have upgraded firmware today which is released recently. Still the same issue. There is no option to remove unwanted/inactive devices from the list/database manually
WTF! AX50 is a pretty new device and TP-LIMP (sic) won't implement the client list cleanup even in those?
They don't really give a f*** about customer input. Not even to a thread this size. Shame, shame, shame!
Sorry for the language, pal. Good luck.

@Kevin_Z the entire reason I purchased this router was for better control over the devices on my network for parental settings. Please, direct me to the correct product that has what I am looking for.

Why can't there simply be a tab of recognized clients, with buttons or links next to each so they can be renamed (given friendly names), deleted, blocked, restricted, etc.?
And why wasn't this done from the start, years ago? Seems like such an obvious and important feature. Can't believe this doesn't exist.

Seems so elementary ... 
... and rather pathetic that it hasn't been addressed.

I agree... please add the ability to remove individual or even all currently registered devices, to allow them to be added back automatically as each connects again to the network.
