Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.5.1 Build 20201022 Rel. 66804

 

This is a feature in Android 10, MAC randomization is enabled by default. Even when I blocked a certain user he can still use my SSID, the phone will just generate a random MAC Address. The initial workaround I did to prevent the user to use my SSID is to change the password. The TP-Link team should have an ACL or MAC Filtering for the permanent resolution for this issue it's a security breach. The parental Control feature won't help either. See some of my screenshots below for reference.

@A_Edkid 

Hi, thank you very much for your kind feedback.

We have already reported the feedback of adding the whitelist on MAC filtering to the engineers already and it is under consideration.

Currently, if possible, please try to turn off the private address/random address on the devices.

Thanks a lot.
