Parental controls failing on iPhone? Private Wi-Fi address may be the cause
Original: Kindersicherung oder feste IP der FRITZ!Box greifen beim iPhone nicht mehr? Oft nutzt das iPhone eine neue private WLAN-
iPhone users with an AVM FRITZ!Box router are finding that parental controls and fixed IP assignments no longer apply to their devices. The likely culprit is iOS's private Wi-Fi address feature, which gives the phone a new random MAC address on each network, making it appear as an unknown device to the router. The suggested fix: in iPhone settings under Wi-Fi, tap the network and set Private Wi-Fi Address to 'Fixed', then reassign it in the router.
Why now: A common iOS privacy feature is silently breaking router-based parental controls and static IP assignments, prompting shared troubleshooting tips.
