How to manage my kid's laptop network

Few days ago my kid enable Windows "Random hardware addresses". After that every time he connect to the Nest Wifi Pro, it shows a new device is connected. My old group can't include it immediately. So the laptop is out of my control and my kid can use the network.

Do you have functionalities to deal with this situation? To block the laptop network based on device name? I found the name is same, but the mac address is different.

Hello @TKH 

This kind of problem is difficult to solve at the network level in home / consumer systems like Google/Nest WiFi. What I found to work better when my son was this age was to use the parental control features built into the device operating systems. Microsoft "Family" and Apple "Screen Time" for example.
