I have seen an article regarding configuring WiFI access control in Deco app to use a allow device list . here is the article link https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/3833/ . But I do not see this feature in my Deco App. Is there a way to get this feature enabled ? I am using DECO XE75 model . Any info here will be of great help.

@HelpFixDecoApp , thanks for a quick response. Any specific reason why this feature is not available for US version? Is there any plan to get this or any option to enable it or way to get a UK verson of the app?
this is really important to handle Parental control as due to private address issue on mobile phones, its difficult to handle the Parental control effectively. Or is there a way to identify a unique device even if "private address" feature is enabled on mobile devices?

Even if you had access to the UK application, it would not be functional for US Deco models, as it is not compatible with the firmware for those devices.
Below is a list of all available options and features for Deco models.

Using my XE75 Pro hardware version 2 as an example, I currently have access to features and options in firmware platforms 1.7.0 and 1.8.0. The latest firmware platform available is 1.12.0, so I have a bit of a wait before I can upgrade to 1.12.0. It is simply a matter of awaiting the deployment of each device from one firmware platform to another.

When a device uses a random MAC address ("private address" feature ), there is no way for the Deco to identify the actual device.
Having a white list of allowed MAC address would indeed help, until a user changes the MAC address of its device and uses another allowed MAC address.
A better solution would be for the Deco to authenticate the user of the device.
