How to easily block a device from the network
Okay, there has to be away to kick a known device off your network.I need to block my son's laptop from the internet as form of punishment. I know which device is his, there has to be away to revoke ...
I need to know something? I have almost the same issue but mine is , I blocked my son one time from his phone.....well he went on his game found out the password which I changed (had to do it manually to all devices) and he added the same phone just with the different password we changed, now how could he have done that? When I already had his phone blocked???? I need to find a way to completely take that phone off!! I never gave him this phone, nor permission to have it! He is 13, already has ran away, just afraid he might do something an not no about it! Can SOMEONE PLEASE help me???
What hardware are you using? The modem or router model number?
If he is using wifi, then you may be able to turn on Access Control and block devices using the Mac address of his phone.
Tell us the hardware you have and maybe someone can point you in the right direction.
Good luck! You may need it.
