blocking xbox
My 14yo has figured out how to reset ip address on his xbox, so orbi will see the change as a new device, which exists outside of his parental control profile. is there a way to not allow new devices in the orbi app? this was available accessing the router directly at one time. but now refers me back to the app. Thanks.

My guess is that this is a result of having activated Parental Controls. My RBR50 Access Control page is the same as it has always been. (see attached image)
Is it possible to create a Parental Control profile that covers every possible IP with the exception of those that you want to have unrestricted access? Surely it does not matter to smart plugs, vacuums, thermostats, etc. etc. that they cannot reach 'exotic' URL's.
Maybe someone who watches the SPC community forum will have a solution?

You might try OpenDNS services as well.
