Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.6.5

Parental controls are currently unusable due to the inability to prevent new devices joining the network if they are wired in or have the wifi password. My children can simply change there devices Mac address and magically everything roars back to life.

 

I am looking to upgrade my network in the coming months to include Wifi 6 and would like to stick with the DECO range but this one issue is preventing me from doing so.

 

Can you advise when a solution to this issue will be available?

Hi, Thanks a lot for the feedback.

 There would be a workaround shared by other users for this issue:

  •  set up my deco to have a limited number of IP addresses. Additionally, each device is assigned an IP address through address reservation.

This means the device can only connect with the IP address if it matches the MAC address of the device.

Best regards.
