Step 4: Tap Start.

Step 5: Tap ‘+’ to create a child profile.

Warning: If MAC randomization or a private address is enabled on your child’s device, you will be prompted with the reminder below. Make sure the feature is turned off on your child device so that the router can identify your child device and perform the parental control rules later.
