Family Settings and TP Link issues
 

I have the VM Super Hub 2. I have timed restrictions set up in Security (MAC filtering). They seemed to work fine and helped me restrict my boys on their games consoles. Recently I bought TP links to help them have a wired connection and it boosts the WIFI around the house. However the TP Link wired connections seem to ignore the restrictions I've set up in the VM router.

Is this a known problem or is there something I need to do with the TP Link or router differently.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought about buying one of the TP Link models where you can set up its own settings - but they only seem to work on the model attached direct to the router and not the paired TP's around the house.

What type of TP Link devices have you bought?

Without going into an depth explanation of how routing works I will summarise and say that it is more than likely that the shub was able to see the macs on the switch side when the devices were directly connected to it and now that are going through another switch/middleman the shub can now only see the tplink switch and not what is behind it.
That being said, my Linksys router see everything behind all 4 of my switches but I don't know whether that is specifically down to my router or a combination of the router's ability to do so and the fact that all my switches are Linksys as well.

If the tp-link is configured as a repeater either by design or just how it happens to be configured assuming theres some kind of gui then the likelihood is that is' assigining a virtual MAC address to each client which connects thus rendering any filtering rules on the shub useless.

I have a Buffalo Nfiniti router and netgear POE switches but everything that is wired can "see" everything else whether on the switches or on other router ports so you're not unique General.
