My daughter has the little iPhone SE. There are times when I want to restrict her internet. I can control her data, I can turn off WiFi in settings but it always re connects to the house WiFi in its own. How can I stop this?

You are disabling it in settings and not control center? Is she able to re-enable it all somehow?

Just settings, i didn’t realize ther was a control cent actually. I have kept the phone in my possession and seen the phone re connect to our home WiFi, it does it all on its own, I have had the phone “ forget” the network and erase the password but it never does really forget anything.

Something seems odd about it all. It shouldn't turn on WiFi if you disable it, and should certainly not be able to connect to a network that has been forgotten. Is the Cloud ID on that device shared with any other devices?

[doublepost=1513721351][/doublepost]No, the Cloud ID is not shared with any other devices at all.

Does your Wi-Fi router have Access Restrictions? Even my very old Linksys router allows you to enter a device MAC address and restrict its connection to times and days of the week.
