Nighthawk XR450 - Delete Device that is online

I've discovered a device that is connected to my router wirelessly that I don't recognize.  I've attempted to block it but, it remains connected online.  I've done this with other devices in the past and. after blocking,  it typically moves it to the offline section.  Attempting to delete doesn't work either as I get a message that says it is "unable to delete because it is online".  Any suggestions?

    If you reboot the router you'll then be able to delete it from the Device Manager. In the next version there is a delete all devices button that will make it easier.
