Connect App - devices automatically resume after being paused

This is becoming a real problem now.

I'm trying to keep certain devices off my WiFi using the "Broadband" tab and "Pause" option in the Connect app. However, as soon as I pause the devices and refresh the page, they're back.

I've reset the Hub and deleted / redownloaded the app, but still the same problem.

Why is this function so broken?

WiFi Pausing not working ?

The day is done for WiFi Pausing.

Current computers and mobile devices have MAC Address Randomisation this enables the device to change its identity and to regain a connection.

The upside of this is 30 mins per day limits of free WiFi in hotels / airport can now easily be exceeded.

The down side is the exact same mechanism enables a Paused WiFi device to quickly regain access on a home network.

Education is the way forward.
