@Kerry92  Does the device belong to a child and you are trying to restrict access at certain times?

Changing the WiFi password is an obvious solution.

@Kerry92If you would like to totally stop someone from using the Wi-Fi change the password and connect all of the devices you want to and they will be unable to connect with the new password.

You can go into the router settings and add a firewall rule from there but it gets a little technical.
