Model: Archer C80  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.13.15 Build 240812 Rel.53972n(4555)

Dear technical team,

I noticed the following problem with my router when using the parental control function.

The router does not block the android startphone when trying to block access to the Internet through the application or web UI. All sites through the browser (chrome and opera) continue to be available although the Wi-Fi network is marked as a network without access to the Internet. At the same time, a personal computer connected by wire is blocked normally, browsing sites does not work.

 

Please help me figure out what the problem is.

I will add. This happens if several devices are linked to the profile (PC and smartphone), if there is only one device, then the problem is not observed.

Hello I checked everything again taking into account your advice. Indeed, it turned out that the smartphone, when blocked by the parental control function, simply switched to work via mobile Internet without turning off Wi-Fi. Thank you for your help.
