Why do devices unpause on app?

On the connect app, why do devices I pause from broadband use, automatically unlause. They use to stay paused until I manually unlaused them. Very frustrating. Thanks.

  • Hey Zey110878, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

    Which devices are doing this, is it just one or most of them?

    How long has been happening?

    Is the app fully updated?

    Current computers and mobile phones support MAC Address Randomisation.

    When a device is paused, the current MAC is blocked.

    On finding the MAC blocked the device can generate a new MAC in order to reconnect to the internet.

    It is a brilliant workaround for the 20min free time limits of some public Wi-Fi hot spots.
