I have a Cox Panoramic Wifi router, and I'm trying to block my son's gaming PC to limit his time gaming.
When I try to block the PC from the network, it keeps reappearing with a different MAC address, but a slightly modified hostname. I don't know if there's some kind of utility he's running or if it's the gaming app that keeps recycling MAC addresses and re-connecting to the network. Here's an example
Is there a way to block a device by "Hostname starts with" = "NEW-DESKTOP" for instance? Cause all devices have the NEW-DESKTOP-NNN format.
When I was managing the device through the Gateway interface (192.168.0.1), I never had this issue and was able to block that device from the network and even schedule the time it's blocked, but now that Cox moved managing devices to wifi.cox.com, I can't seem to be able to block it anymore.
