Hello I have parental control set on my new ee router and my sons devices in a group with time limits. But after switch of time xbox stil shows on line until I pause this groups wifi myself in the app. I am aware there are work around for him such as changing mac address as he is tech minded..if I select only use this ip address in router settings wil this stop him changing mac address and reconnecting. Many thanks.

@Eg01103 : It should. Access Control is specified by IP addys.
