MAC-randomisation or router identifier mismatch

Detection

A router rule refers to an identifier but the vendor does not show a stable, documented device association.

Fix (technical)

Do not provide change instructions. Ask the router vendor how its parental-control association works and validate that the named child device is covered. Add device/account controls instead of relying on a single router identifier. [esafety-parental-controls; saferinternet-at-technical-controls]

Fix (relational)

Avoid turning routine troubleshooting into an accusation; ask jointly which devices are used and why.

Residual risk

No inspected source evaluated this claim for a current consumer router.
