MAC filtering Not Working

[Hoopy1888]

Hi folks,

Just tried to set up a couple of "denied" MACs for the main wifi connection. To stop the kids getting on.

When I've tested it, they can still access the internet on their devices.

Is there anything I'm missing?

I have put the MAC addresses into the fields, turned on filtering and set to deny. Hit apply and that's that.

Any hints greatly appreciated

Not tried it on the VF router but on others if the device is already allowed access then you have to remove it from the router and reconnect, you could do that by changing the wifi password & deleting them as known devices or changing your wifi name or I think changing the IP address range (say 192.168.0.x) also works, hope this helps

I've not tried it that way, but I have found it works if you do it the other way around i.e create an allow list, so that anthing else is automatically blocked. That might be worth a try.
