Blocked device gets unblocked

Question

Hi,
I have a RBK50 router, I am using Genie/Web interface with Access control turned on. I successfully blocked my kid’s devices from accessing the network. But he changes his device’s MAC address and joins back to the network successfully. The device he has is from his institution, I don’t have control to make him non-admin user/or anything else. Is there a way to block his device using his device name or something like that?
&nbsp;
Under Access Control:
When I block his device:
Status&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Device Name&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; IP Address&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;MAC Address &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Connection Type
Blocked&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DESKTOP-7C772NB&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;192.168.1.7&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 66:67:67:66:73:42&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5G
&nbsp;
When he joins back:
Status&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Device Name&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; IP Address&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;MAC Address &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Connection Type
Allowed &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DESKTOP-7C772NB&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 192.168.1.10&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;65:63:37:67:a3:32&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5G
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Please note that the MAC Address is different, so he could join back the network and access the internet.
&nbsp;
Thanks for your help.

so cheat.&nbsp;
If you go through access control, there's an option to block all new devices from conneting. New devices have to have someone go in and allow them to work. One way around him changing the mac address blocking.&nbsp;
