Note: Family Wi-Fi features can't be used with devices that use a Private Address or Randomized MAC

This note from Google means the family wi-fi features are useless.

Google MUST add the ability to whitelist or change their tech b/c randomized MAC addresses are commonplace on windows - which means Googles tools are USELESS and though they are sold as protecting the family and providing peace of mind, they fail miserably, Google knows about it, and Google is doing NOTHING to stop it.

That's false advertising.
