Hello, I have family wifi schedules workings. How do I tell the system do not allow any device (regardless of they know the password or on Ethernet) to join the network?  

 

Thanks!

There is no feature or setting to do that unfortunately.

If someone has the Wifi network password, they will be able to join a device to the network.

I know. The problem is that Google uses the mac address to identify the selected devices.  All modern devices, by default, use a random soft mac address when connecting to a network defeating any family scheduling settings or anything else.

Agreed, it's a growing challenge for parental control features that rely on the MAC address.
