Disconnecting devices from my WiFi...

Hi, is there any way to disconnect individual devices from my router? My neighbour logged into my internet two years ago and I'd since forgotten, she now recently reminded me and said how happy she is having had free internet all this time. It's wound me up a bit as she's certainly more well off than me and in all honesty, is not an overly friendly neighbour anyway!! 

 

My fault as I shouldn't have given her the password in the first place, so I can't claim fraud or anything.

 

If I can't disconnect individual devices, will simply changing the password do it? Or would she still be able if she has it saved already, which she clearly has! 

 

I don't want to bring it up with them, cowardly possibly, but I'd much rather just disconnect her and say it's playing up. 

 

Sorry for the long winded post.

@KMP85 changing the password is the best option a pain for you as you will have to rconnect all your devices again with the new password but it will stop your neighbour

Will that work if she automatically connects to it? Like if she leaves home and gets in her phone will automatically pick it back up, so if I change the password will that prompt her to sign in again?

@KMP85 yes as you say if she leaves home and comes back with the password changed it will ask her to sign in again as it cant automatically sign in
