Hi noticed other day when I go on the buddy app it's saying hub is offline while it's off line the internet is working on all my devices and kid is sitting up all night again just realised she's resetting the router when he time runs out and it's letting her on internet all night is there anyway round this as router is in living room and she can go in and out and reset as she pleases as that's only phone line socket we have

Haven't heard of that particular one. Normally they learn from friends how to change mac addresses to bypass mac filtering, change timezones to gain extra time and use vpn's when everything else fails 😁 This one will be more hands on groundings, curfews

, rewards and the odd flick the trip switch.

I know it's so simple I never thought of it. I've had nothing but trouble with the app think with a big company like sky it would be more water tight

It is based on the same circle home by disney hardware/software and nothing is really free from bypassing to a determined child. Still can't see how it works just by resetting the hub

Unless resetting the hub is part of implementing new firewall rules for which she would need admin access to the router with default username and password or the knowledge that factory resetting the hub will revert everything back to default values.
