without Allow List, Parent Control is useless for Windows 11 now. Kid can turn on Random hardware address for Deco's wifi network. After that, they can quickly disable and re-enable wifi within 5 seconds. Then, they will connect to Deco wifi network with new MAC address as a new device, and bypass all Parent Control settings and restrictions. This is now becomes very urgent. Please send our feedback to tech team to speed up the roll out.

Hi, welcome to the community.

Deco X20 does not support Allow List yet and currently only Deco X50/Deco X55_V1 supports this feature-Pre-Released 1.3.0 Firmware for Deco X50/X55 Adds Support for Whitelist and Matter.

It is planned to gradually roll out similar features on different models but there isn't a clear date for a specific model.

Thank you very much and best regards.

  @Hameed123 

this is exactly what I'm facing, that my kid keeps changing MAC address and All Parental controls are useless. now I'm seriaosly thinking to buy a router from another company with better features, unless TP-Link provide expected date for realsing this feature.
