@Deepak_Waterloo Hi, welcome to the community.

Have you tried to clean Caches on the browser first>close the browser and reopen it>use incognito windows on the browser to test if a website is blocked?

Please also turn off the Private Address/Virtual MAC address on the devices:https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/2952/

If still not, could you please submit app feedback and add the websites that could not be properly blocked?

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/581574?replyId=1132466

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

@Deepak_Waterloo

The content filtering on these Decos doesn't work

I recommend using OpenDNS instead

Setup a free OpenDNS Home account (google it as I cannot put the link into this)
Setup your network (this should autofill) select dynamic (assuming you dont have a static IP)
define the level of filtering you want from the OpenDNS dashboard

Point your Deco to the OpenDNS servers (to do the content filtering)

opening the deco app on your phone
go to "More" (at the bottom of the app)
select "Advanced"
select "DHCP Server"
enter the OpenDNS Primary and Secondary DNS server (they provide these on your OpenDNS dashboard)
save

then try accessing adult websites from a browser on a device connected to your deco. It should block the adult website
