Traffic filtering occurred even though IPv4 was allowed, suggesting a repeater might be involved.

I'm checking upstairs with a wireless repeater to access the internet. It flows from the modem, goes to the router, then wirelessly to the repeater, and finally via Ethernet cable to my PC. My family uses "MyCircle" to control internet traffic for kids, setting their IPv4 to whitelisted or adult mode—no filtering. Despite this, I keep getting blocked. I think the repeater itself might be a network device with an IPv4 address. Should I change its settings to adult mode? How do I find its IPv4? Also, how can I block kids connected through the router via the repeater? Model: EX6150v2
My idea: Avoid using that kind of software. Instead, talk to the children and show them what is right and wrong. Using such tools only helps them learn how to bypass it. It creates a misleading feeling of safety and makes them believe they must hide information from you.
Thread now available. The issue stems from the repeater generating its own Wi-Fi network, which behaves like a connected device in the main network’s view. Monitoring tools won’t recognize it properly. You can’t add it to a whitelist because it operates independently. For this to function, you or your parents need to switch to a mesh-compatible configuration.
Think of it like a road with a break in the middle. On either side of the obstruction, the path stays the same—same name, same direction—but a patrol car using its radar on one side can't see vehicles passing from the other side. The roads might look identical, but the presence of the structure blocks visibility.
For setting up the EX6150v2, what LAN IP address is recommended? Additionally, what subnet does the primary router operate on?
I've been working around Circle for a while now. It seems resetting the router after a while can erase the login information and temporarily disable its filters.
