"Enforce dhcp assignments" will probably not help you now. It simply blocks any device which does not have the mac:ip pair assigned by dhcp. There are more sophisticated mechanisms available from dnsmasq which involve installing a token on the authorized clients - but these are not implemented in the Gargoyle interface.
A non-tech solution would be to make your bright teenager the system administrator and withhold food if any other family member runs out of Internet during the month.
Then maybe your bright teenager would like to help extend Gargoyle's use of dnsmasq tokens if his father began spoofing mac addresses and steeling bandwidth.

I have used fing(On android) to spot him...
When it has occurred network starts playing up so he is easy to spot... so atm on a holiday from gaming computer...
He can be spotted as when he spoofs say an android mac when I look at the small population of allowed MACS I can see services i.e bonjour running which do not normally run on an android....
fing
https://www.fingbox.com/download its free and very handy...

How about setting up two WI-FI hotspots with different passwords and controls based on which WI-FI hotspot teenager connects to?
I'm wondering how long before my kids get tech savvy.
