Devices blocked again and again with IOS14 upgrade

My fingbox has taken to blocking my and my wife's iPads and iPhones since update to iOS 14 yesterday. Previously the major IOS updates did not cause this problem but now the devices can be block again and again, requiring manual unblocking. I do have multiple wifi connections in my house connected to ethernet network as walls are so thick and each area needs its own wifi access point. Not a problem previously. Don't really want to turn off "blocking new device" feature. Any solution please?

Hello there,
It is because the new feature "Privéaddress" in the WiFi settings in te new IOS 14 release.
The Privéaddress setting give you every time you connect to a WiFi network a private unique MAC Address instead of the build in MAC Address of your device.
For detail about that matter look at https://support.apple.com/nl-be/HT2112273 -

I have ios14 enabled on my phone and private network feature disabled however Fing is still detecting that my phone is broadcasting an additional mac address and blocking it. Any ideas as to what else I can look into for correcting this issue?0

Issue has been resolved as it looks like Fing does not like Manual IP settings on iOS14. As soon as I removed and selected automatic for Configure IP that removed the double entries for all of the phones in the household.0
